Re:Germany to make it a crime to run a Tor node or website by rurban on Saturday March 16, 2019 @03:50AM (#19406839)
But was still restricted to only "Betreiben von internetbasierten Handelsplattformen für illegale Waren und Dienstleistungen". => Operating Internet-based trading platforms for illegal goods and services. i.e. a illegal darknet platform, not a tor exit node itself, if it's not created to help for illegal purposes. They mention the darknet and tor, but this doesn't made it the sole target of this law.

Otherwise they would outlaw bitcoin scramblers also, which is mostly used for illegal, not privacy purposes.

What is bonkers is now the recommendation of the lead legal council and some committee on internal affairs to broaden the wording to "facilitating access" which could be interpretated as anything, and thus will not pass any critical review by law. Those guys just need to be fired.
