A greyhat should write a virus that hijacks computers and makes them Tor exit nodes. Anyone can run it voluntarily and claim ignorance. And people that get hijacked would have been hijacked by something anyway, so they will at least be supporting free speech with this one.

Way to make politicians even less sympathetic towards Tor. It's now a "hackers' tool" as well as a "kiddy fiddlers' tool"

BTW plenty of IRC-based botnets already do something similar, though usually without proper encryption.
