People have been known to disappear for less.
- smnrchrds 8y agoHave they really? It is the sort of thing you see a lot in fiction but not on reality.
- Doxin 8y agoAt the very least you'd end up being sued for defamation or whatnot by DOW for the next century or two. DOW is not a company you want to tango with.
- secfirstmd 8y agoIts fully possible to tip a journalist or regulator these fays with a level of anonymity these days.
- Doxin 8y agoI can fully imagine not wanting to run the risk regardless however.
- krageon 8y agoAnd what if they can tell from the information leaked who leaked it? This person's life will be destroyed by armies of lawyers. Just so some journalist can report on something that'll be out of the news in a few weeks and change precisely nothing.
- secfirstmd 8y agoTrue. That is always a risk when someone does something in the public interest. But doing stuff for the betterment of others at risk of your own lifestyle is a noble endeavour that many have undertaken despite these reasons.
- krageon 8y agoMy point is that others are not bettered by this action, because the action of leaking to a journalist no longer improves anything. Just as it hasn't the last few times this happened. It is arguably a good idea to sacrifice something for everyone's benefit, but it is always a bad idea to sacrifice if nobody benefits.
