Replying to [comment:1 wseltzer]:

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."
