Just look at the history between Snowden and the NSA. Snowden was not the first guy to know about what was going on, but the first one to come out with it.
- neuronic 8y agoKind of replying to you as well as parent. One should note that the "pretend not to see" part is often a result of expecting heavily negative consequences in face of uncovering the truth. I am German and I really do enjoy the newest VW models, in fact I am rooting for their electric approach - but let's face it. Volkswagen is one of Germany's top brass international companies, therefore heavily politically intertwined, and I am certain that they would recede to shady methods to prevent from such damaging news ever going public. I have little doubt that Volkswagen is as unethical as comparable international companies in other nations. So it tremendous takes personal risk and, yes, bravery to take such a step. And that is why this is not just "normal work".
