Yes, and according to the article, he runs a Tor exit node.

According to the article, only wikileaks was mentioned during the raid, police asked for passwords to the wikileaks.de domain, and police asked him to shut wikileaks.de down. So while there isn't much information available right now, the raid looks like it does not have to do with him running a Tor exit node.

I'm in Germany right now and this whole hysteria is sickening. Don't let your freedom be taken away 'for the children'; your children will come back to haunt you for it. Wikileaks just made themselves a nice donation today.

I found this particularly interesting: "It comes just a few weeks after a member of parliament, SPD minister Joerg Tauss had his office and private house searched by police. German bloggers discussing the subject were similarly raided."

So, if you discuss something on your blog, your house gets raided?

wikileaks published the lists of banned sites used by Australia and other countries web censorship. Germany and other Eu countries are doing the same.

These lists allegedly contain sites with child porn so listing the sites is the same as distributing child porn.

Of course since the list is secret, if the government was to slip a few other sites on the list - you wouldn't know except for wikileaks.
