With all due respect, this seems nice in theory but useless in practice.
Would you expect an entity (government, corporation, doesn't matter) who does not mind exploiting or torturing people (only as two examples) to worry about using software outside of what its license allows?. I can't be the only one who thinks this is naive. If you write open source software, you should assume anybody will use it for whatever needs they have that your software suits, regardless of the license.
I think there's enough Activism Lite on the world these days. If you don't like some of the awful things that are going on in the world, a license (or a twitter protest, etc) is not the way to go. It's not like The Internet suddenly made it impossible for people to do things like vote, or go protest. You know, real-life things that may have real-life impact on some of the awfulness in the world.
