Questo "aggiornamento" entra un po' più nei dettagli:

"[...]
* The seized TOR-servers were most probably TOR exit-nodes.
* Their IP-addresses most probably showed up in the logfiles of the
alleged child-porn server.
* The police found out about that IP-address and the police must take
action and seize the server.
* The fact that the server was running TOR is of no actual value for
the process of forensics itself.
* So there's no actual evidence at the moment which proves that this
is a direct attack on the TOR-network or it's operators in Germany.
* We still don't know if any charges are pressed against operators.
Basically we're all speculating, so please, let's keep calm until we
really know more. If i find out more, I'll post updates here.

E conclude con:

"Famous last words: My TOR-server is still running, pushing 40GB/day
around. I'm not going to shut it down for whatever reason. I ask all
other TOR-operators in Germany to do the same. There's no sign that
we're going to be sued for whatever reason at the moment.

Let's keep calm and not become hysteric."

Praticamente, in soldoni, pare sia escludibile una azione deliberata
contro Tor; sembra più probabile che, ovviamente per esigenze di
natura forense, si sia reso necessario il sequestro delle macchine
corrispondenti agli IP loggati dai server contenenti pornografia
infantile - e quindi gli investigatori siano risaliti ad alcuni nodi
di uscita di Tor.
