- Scoundreller 6y agoWas wondering that myself, but didn't see any benefit to telling anyone even if it were legal. Based on your link, it seems like publishing their ID would be illegal. But if a reporter called them up and interviewed them without publishing identity, no law would be broken. Not legal advice.
- thephyber 6y agoYes, I was unclear. > that would have been I meant to say "publishing would have been" illegal.
- andykx 6y agoI think there's some nuance here. It's not illegal to know that someone is an informant, you just can't publish their information.
