government funded spyware
Government is spreading fud about it being spyware because they literally can't track users on it unless they enable js.
now kiss
If you're gonna use it, use obfuscated bridges(obsf4) and strong end to end encryption(like GPG) for communicating sensitive info with others.. If you're accessing the tor network from a shared network(like at college or work or whatever), people observing your network traffic may still be able to observe that you're using the tor network(even with obsf4). If you don't want those people knowing you use tor, I would recommend using the public wifi at a coffee shop or something when on tor.
Also, disable javascript in the settings in case they're on by default(which they are IIRC). I think that's most of the basics.
who do i believe

You'll need to back up your claim.
All papers I've read on Tor suggest it's very hard or nor feasible to deanonymize, according to the NSA themselves (leaked docs).
All people cought doing shit on Tor were pretty much dumbasses who fucked up the basics of keeping yourself anonymous.
This. They'd have to control most nodes. It's not impossible, but it's highly impractical.
Yep, nothing to worry about. Contrarians like to drum up fear for no reason.
