The way the article describes it, Tor outproxies would be liable too. I2P
and all other networks like it too, even Gnunet.

He is essentially saying that the messenger is liable for the contents of
the message even if he can't know what it is. Which means that to avoid
liability you can't pass on messages you don't know is legal.

Steganography, anyone?
