Please cite this.  It is very hard to believe.

Personally, I have encountered network blocking of bitcoin peers, and Tor
is one way to reconnect with the network when this happens.


Regardless, reasonable rebroadcasting of nonlocal transactions is a
hands-down good thing.  This does not make them anonymous, but it does make
it a little harder to track their origin, and additionally it makes their
transmission more robust.

Every extra measure is a good thing, as everything eventually fails.
