Tor does have padding defenses to protect against that.

Also, according to their latest blog post on their finances, while it is true they have money from the US Government, that was only ~50% of their income (I think that was 2023). For the FUD part of that comment, see the "U.S. Government Support" section of https://blog.torproject.org/transparency-openness-and-our-20...

“Only half” is hilarious. Thanks for that.

And if you trust the NSA can’t overcome correlation in the presence of “padding defenses”, then sure: TOR is secure.
