Tor exit node operator arrested in Russia (TorServers.net blog)

On April 12 Dmitry Bogatov, a mathematician and Debian maintainer, was arrestedin Russia for "incitation to terrorism" because of some messages thatwent through his Tor exit node. "Though, the very nature of Bogatovcase is a controversial one, as it mixes technical and legal arguments, andmakes necessary both strong legal and technical expertise involved. Indeed,as a Tor exit node operator, Dmitry does not have control andresponsibility on the content and traffic that passes through his node: itwould be the same as accusing someone who has a knife stolen from her housefor the murder committed with this knife by a stranger." The DebianProject made a brief statement.
