I didn't talk about the dev getting contacted about third parties abusing the software, but about the dev keeping a DB of indexed content for development/testing/"education" that would most likely include illegal-to-possess content.
And that some eager police people like to "inconvenience" people connected to TOR somehow isn't exactly new, either.
E.g. there have been multiple raids against TOR exit node operators in different countries around the world in the past, even when the police was fully aware it was a TOR exit node that did not store information.
Maybe I'm just too paranoid - then again I used to run a TOR exit node myself and had a bunch of less than pleasant run-ins with the police, tho thankfully no raids.
