Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I don’t think the protocol itself is broken with enough people doing exit nodes, and I think normal people will benefit from privacy granted by tor.
But I bet with high certainty that if the NSA wants you it can probably find you.
The below YouTubers I’ve seen before but I also can’t independently verify whether they are just click baiting or not…

Stop getting info from yt “infosec” channels.
No one uses single exit-entry gateways in tor anymore, and the widespread use of tor bridges, split exits and vpn (now that they’re quite fast) means it’s much easier for law enforcement to fingerprint traffic rather than sit and wait for someone to tilt their hand and reveal an exit node that will have moved in an hour anyway.
Think about it: if criminals were successfully moving illicit goods and hiding the comms, you think you would hear about it on YouTube, of all places?

You’re saying law enforcement can easily fingerprint you? Or am I misreading what you’re trying to say?

Yes. The days of Maltego are behind us, law enforcement now just file requests directly with Google.

Even on something like tor browser or tails?
