Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:1 wseltzer]:
 > I wonder about "Should I run an exit relay from my home?"  The current
 text seems a bit alarmist to me.

 Right -- that issue stuck out for me as well.

 More generally, it seems that the tor legal faq has two types of
 questions: legal questions and more fuzzy practical advice.

 I can see two benefits to saying a clear "No" about running an exit relay
 at home. The first benefit is that it reduces the number of users who get
 surprised. The second benefit is that EFF can respond with "we clearly
 told you not to do that" if anybody comes to them in that situation.

 But I worry about the edge case on the other side, where somebody actually
 has a good relationship with their ISP, and it's a reasonable situation
 for running an exit relay there, but they read the FAQ entry and decide
 against it "because the EFF told me I should never do that."
