Although, the greater risk in my opinion, comes from the question if tor operators can be seen as service providers who would be exempt from responsibility for transmitted information under the term of this law. There's no precedence to my knowledge, but private wireless APs are in fact not exempt from responsibility.

Don't confuse Internet ACCESS Providers and Internet Service Providers. Legally, they're looked at quite different. And a "wifi with bad security" does not even mean you can't offer a completely open wifi. Any layman with a bit of sense could have known that to argue that the wifi was misconfigured "by mistake" is a bad excuse.
To come back to the topic, I believe it is perfectly fine to announce _in advance_ that your relay does not want to see/relay particular traffic. Then, it is not a question of interfering with traffic, since you don't see that kind of traffic at all. It's different if you stop dropping packets on purpose.
