I'd like to help, but without also facilitating paedos. Is there an easy way to limit my tor exits to Twitter and its subdomains? I.e., can I do the configuration in Tor rather than messing with routes/firewall on the OS?

Yes, it's really easy if you know what IPs and ports you want to allow. You can whitelist a handful of services in your torrc and reject all others by default. I've been running a mostly-relay node for years now with a few allowed exits, with never any trouble at all. Though, I don't think my node gets used as an exit node very often; whenever I've checked, it's just doing normal relaying, which is basically what I want/expect.

uProxy will be hopefully released a few months, which should help you help others in a censorship jam that you trust with greater confidence not to use your connection for such activity. And I imagine speech freedom will still need your help whenever it's released.. To whoever downvoted this, how is his question and concern not valid?
