> The thing is you can try to explain that it was not you that was
sending the information, but unfortunately it went through your computer
which makes you partially responsible.
Not in Germany, at least it shouldn't. §§8-10 Telemediengesetz define
something called "Providerprivileg" which exonerates any transport hops
from prosecution, similar to how the postal service isn't responsible
for any drugs they transport.
Additionally, thanks to the CCC [1] a lot of law enforcement actually
knows what TOR is, that it's only a transport, and thus usually the
investigation into the Exit operator is pretty limited... unless they
find something else.
