Tor is a valuable tool for browsing the web anonymously, but since it's powered by volunteers willing to share some bandwidth and a computer, it's always in need of additional help. Which is why EFF is announcing the Tor University Challenge, a project asking universities to start running Tor...
I love me some privacy but have always been skeptical of Tor because I am afraid that I am acting as a relay for CSAM, which, even if encrypted I am not okay with.
Is that fear unfounded? To be honest I don’t really know how Tor works aside from some broad strokes.

In which country? In most countries you just have to send LE a boilerplate email saying your run a Tor node and they’ll leave you alone.
Austria was the country. There is a few wrinkles here. They found cp on one of the hard drives, they had text logs of him offering to host cp on a server, and in the end he was sentenced to 3 years probation.
Well, that explains everything. It’s not the Tor node, it’s that he was offering to host it.
It certainly does!
So it sounds like he wasn’t just relaying it then…
This is new to me, and I would be very surprised if that has any (positive) effect.
It’s always double edge. Don’t you have anything to hide? Who need end to end encryption apart of pedos and terrorists? If you really want 100% security, then just give up 100% of your freedom.
What’s CAM?

Probs intended to write CSAM - Child Sexual Abuse Material
Correct, it was a typo that I have since corrected.
