Sounds like a "human rights worm". Some people thought about that before [1]. Aside from the obvious ethical difficulties, I would consider such a worm as highly problematic because it works in the "interest" of an independent project and would eventually damage its reputation (just think about how the media would interpret it). And a damaged reputation might decrease Tor's user diversity which, on the other hand, would hurt anonymity.
