Well OK, but the most useful thing about securedrop is that you can use it to leak documents that are already in electronic form. You can't really send files from a burner phone and having to actually meet someone to give them a USB drive is pointlessly inconvenient. For actual communication that might identify you, sending a plain text file over something like securedrop is much safer than using a burner phone to call an endpoint that is pretty much for sure under heavy surveillance. If you don't know about metadata then you probably shouldn't do this until you are done with the required research.
