Lightning uses onion routing.
Tor implemented onion routing, which Lightning copied.
Try reading the Tor whitepaper, it's right there at the beginning what onion routing can't protect you against: a global passive adversary.
A GPA has existed for many years. It's called the NSA.
Onion routing doesn't provide you with the privacy and anonymity you think it does, sorry.
(but it's better than nothing)
