Tor is not a magic wand for anonymity.

Totally, and people should be aware of this. Valid point.

What really worries me about Tor is not the flaws, but the fact that you are helping the U.S. government

This is such a far out veganism-kills-animals or antifa-are-the-real-fascists style argument. You could make the same point about Signal.

That whole issue of malicious end-nodes harvesting traffic isn't possible over HTTPS-connections. Again, it's true that Tor isn't a magic wand, but I would not blame Tor for government emails allowing unencrypted login. I would blame the government network administrator.

I'll remain skeptical about an author that claims that Tor is "compromised" while publishing guides on how you can Change These Windows 10 Settings Right Now to Protect Your Privacy.
