It would be interesting if tor exits used passive connection monitoring to figure out if they are on a content modifying or censoring network, then made a note of it in the directory. Users could then choose to avoid that exit while people interested in censorship or neutrality would have a shortlist to do research from. Some types of censoring are pretty subtle and couldn't easily be detected this way, but the Great Firewall is pretty obvious.
