 #privacytechpro tip: provide anonymity for yourself and others. use tor more often, not just for mission critical "secret" stuff.

the anonymity tor provides comes from blending in with the crowd. i.e. more traffic is better.

use it for everything that supports it and makes sense based on your threat model (probably not your bank, financial institutions, or netflix).

if your email supports tor (like proton etc), start checking your email over tor, read the news over tor. use tor with https sites that don't ban tor, especially use them when they have an official hidden services onion site.

even facebook has a hidden services onion site where they can't see your ip (they can over clearnet) even without a vpn. 

note: i do not recommend using fb...ever.

show companies that blacklist tor that tor is for everyday legitimate privacy and anonymity purposes not just for "suspicious activity".

normalize using the tor network.

p.s. malicious exit nodes cannot see your traffic if it is encrypted ex: tls (https sites) or .onion sites. http sites are not encrypted and should be avoided whever possible.
