Maybe just: If you choose this option, a daily cron job will run network tests as the "Debian-ooni" user. > . > - WARNING: Running OONI may be against the terms of service of your ISP or > - legally questionable in your country.

(What services? And what circumvention methods *other* than Tor? It would be nice if the documentation ever gave any sort of concrete example of the kind of thing Ooniprobe tries to do, but for an open-source anti-censorship project that doesn't care if it gets me on a watch list, it's remarkably cagey about this.) > including your IP address or other identifying information.
