"Why all the hate for Germany specifically? Pretty much no gov out there likes TOR nodes." It could be argued that the United States does like TOR nodes ... it was originally a US Navy research and development project and, then, in later years the US state department specifically called out TOR as a useful tool (during the "Arab Spring" protests, IIRC.) I see that even now, in 2020, the US State Department is a financial backer of TOR.[1] If I were running TOR nodes in the United States (as I have in the past) I would rely on that current funding as a positive defense against any legal claims against me. (I would also not do anything stupid like run TOR nodes from my home Internet) [1] https://www.torproject.org/about/sponsors/ https://www.torproject.org/about/sponsors/
