A Tor router does not host any data, it is a router like any other ISP or 
backbone router.

I am currently updating the exit pages for Europe/Germany because the laws 
have been updated. With Tor, the client initiates the circuits, not the 
relays/router.

A Tor relay is a simple data carrier (mere conduit) in the terms of Article 12 
of the european directive 2000/31/EC of 8 June 2000: we do not initiate the 
transmissions, we do not select the receiver of the transmission, and we do 
not select or modify the information contained in the transmission. Therefore, 
we are not liable for the information transmitted.

Amendment of directive 2000/31/EC: CHAPTER II, Article 4, ‘Mere conduit’ - the 
Digital Services Act (DSA) Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of 19 October 2022

Tor routers owned by German media services are protected by Article 4 Digital-
Services-Act

In addition, Telegram is a centralized service. Tor and SimpleX are 
decentralized.
