Absolutely not. Tor is nothing but a huge liability for the very vast majority of users when they aren't aware of it (it's another huge failure point in the software stack, and one that some government agencies will respond to with outright hostility), and if the user isn't aware of it, the protections it offers tend to be severely neutered.
Tor can only anonymize and keep you private when you're actively working with it under specific assumptions. Throwing users into the network and making some trivial claim to privacy isn't just a low-effort nerd cop out red herring BS (yes, that's exactly what it is), it's actively misleading to the user about what they can expect.
