Yes, it happened to me now as well - Yesterday i got raided for someone sharing child pornography over one of my Tor exits.
Question: what evidence has been published -- that is, placed somewhere that we can all see it -- that substantiates the claim that child porn traversed the node in question? Followup question 1: if no such evidence has been produced, then why should we believe that it exists? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Followup question 2: if the goal is to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of child porn (and that's a good goal) then why would the police raid this operation? Would it not make far more sense to take advantage of the operator's knowledge and experience and quietly ask for his/her cooperation *while leaving the node running*? Followup question 3: what evidence in front of us allows us to clearly discern that this is what it purports to be and not simply an attempt to shut down a Tor node (and intimidate the operators of others) by using a plausible excuse based on a universal hot-button issue? ---rsk
