Hi,
Can someone point me to an overview of the different legal situations for running tor relays in European countries? I'm especially interested how the situation differs per country.
I'm from the luxembourgish tor operators organisation, Frënn vun der Ënn [0].
We asked a lawyer about the situation. The answer can be found in our wiki [1]. (Be aware it is french)
We asked some questions:
First of all, can we held reliable, when people are visiting illegal sites through one of our nodes. His answer was bascially not, as we are only operating as "proxy". In contrary to Google, we cannot held reliable, as we can't change the destination. Google can actively rank his links differently and so Google can be held liable, if users go to illegal sites, which they found on Google.
We also asked if we need to store the IP-Addresses of users. We are not obligated to, as we are not an internet provider! And we don't have to store the information, to which site users go!
I'm not a lawyer, so read for yourself and try to gather also other information.
