Thirdly she detected from the conversation that a Exit Relay might not be free from legal issues andI can't say that this is not the case, but I do think her view of these issues is utmost grim bringing up my future and employment opportunities. How would do you view/explain the severity of these legal issues?
I run into this all the time whilst proselytizing for Tor, as for example at a local non-profit makerspace recently. "Kiddie porn! FBI raids!" was the hue and cry, whereupon people's brains shut down. But this is very much a public relations issue, not a legal issue, assuming that you have the prerequisite legal boilerplate in place. You do have to be loaded for bear to run an exit and mind your p's and q's; I myself am currently running an exit under the aegis of Zwiebelfreunde (Friends of the Onion) in Germany, as they take care of the technical and legal overhead & catch whatever flak comes its way.
