Citizens under oppressive governments often don't like their governments. The feeling's usually mutual. Some people in such countries - I actually think "most" but I'll remain conservative here - appreciate such tools and its creators. Not necessarily to do anything so ambitious as "ushering in new springs", but often simply to talk to relatives or make online friends or learn new things or exchange ideas online. In case you didn't realize it, lack of freedom and powerlessness really brings down one's mood, and anything to brighten it up is welcome.
