I hear such mixed messages about this and would love for somebody to educate me. Do we:
Avoid using tor to free it up for those who actually need it
Use tor whenever, and normalise it so that somebody using tor isn't immediately considered to be a journalist/dissident/person with something to hide.
Avoid using too much bandwidth on Tor. Do not stream or torrent over Tor. Use it for basic browsing as much as you want, without burdening the nodes in terms of bandwidth. Never use your personal login accounts over Tor.
