I did not look these up, but I can assume you are talking about limited
liability for Tor relay operators and other service providers.

Those laws are set on European Union level I think, which all country
members of EU must set in law. In Finland, that is
"Tietoyhteiskuntakaari 7.11.2014/917, 182 § Vastuuvapaus tiedonsiirto-
ja verkkoyhteyspalveluissa".

Similar limited liability clauses can be found in the United States law.
