He says in the interview that a global adversary like the NSA just needs to cross index a unique characteristic about yourself to de-anonymize your identity, even if you're using TOR.

This is a perfectly valid claim.

The fact that onion routing cannot resist the global passive adversary is well documented and also publicly acknowledged by the Tor project itself.

This article is garbage. It makes a ton of patently false claims and as well as completely unsupported claims, which are buried in irrelevant political opinion, and on top of that the opinion of the interviewee on Tor is of no consequence.
