I used to think pretty much that.

Now it seems all too possible that some malicious relays operate with
the tacit approval of at least some Tor Project staff. Given the FOIA
production that I've seen.

So sure, "it certainly beats nothing". But it's proselytized in ways
that foster a false sense of security.

At this point, if you want low-latency connectivity, botnets are your
safest bet. Or, for those who consider that immoral, nested VPN chains.
You can go at least five deep, with iptables rules to prevent leaks.
