Tor really isn't a safe way for dissidents to interact online and pass information. Pretty much all the exit nodes are monitored by governments and intelligence agencies. Press about Tor, social media, and other online tools was a big trend in the world of 2007-2008 elections, and now with all the political unrest in North Africa and other Arab countries. But this press has been generally with little actual content or value. Just rehashing the same idea of "yay savvy internetz politicking" and how hip it awesome it must all be next to pictures of lean, good-looking youth carrying signs with pithy, web 2.0 inspired quotes at rallies.
No actual analysis of how effective Tor is, how easy it is to sniff on, other better alternatives, or anything other than the same empty congratulatory articles and events.

Pretty dissappointing.
