+Last week, a few Tor exit nodes were seized by the German police in a |
|
| 71 |
+massive sting against child pornography. From our friends on the ground in |
|
| 72 |
+Germany, we hear that dozens and dozens of other computers may have been |
|
| 73 |
+seized too. |
|
| 74 |
+</p> |
|
| 75 |
+ |
|
| 76 |
+<p>So far as we know, only six of those were Tor servers. We have heard |
|
| 77 |
+from the server operators. None of them has been charged. We hope that |
|
| 78 |
+this is just a misunderstanding that can be solved by educating German |
|
| 79 |
+law enforcement about Tor. |

+This seems to be part of a wide sweep on computers associated by IP address |
|
| 85 |
+with a large child porn bust. There does not seem to be any specific |
|
| 86 |
+targetting of Tor — Tor is used by journalists, human rights |
|
