Austrian Tor Exit Node Operator Found Guilty As An Accomplice

“Three years ago we wrote about how Austrian police had seized computers from someone running a Tor exit node. This kind of thing happens from time to time, but it appears that folks in Austria have taken it up a notch by… effectively now making it illegal to run a Tor exit node.  It’s pretty standard to name criminal accomplices liable for ‘aiding and abetting’ the activities of others, but it’s a massive and incredibly dangerous stretch to argue that merely running a Tor exit node makes you an accomplice that ‘contributes to the completion’ of a crime. Under this sort of thinking, Volkswagen would be liable if someone drove a VW as the getaway car in a bank robbery.”
