I assumed that they would until I read this:
"If you upload or submit any Content, you represent to Dow Jones that you have all the necessary legal rights to upload or submit such Content and it will not violate any law or the rights of any person."

- corin_ 15y agoSome pretty amazing leaks they're going to be getting, then!
- orblivion 15y ago"Dow Jones retains sole discretion in deciding what to do, if anything, with the information received through SafeHouse. Dow Jones does not make any representations that the information provided through SafeHouse will be used or published in any form." I don't imagine much fun information coming out of this.
- raganwald 15y agoIn all seriousness, what do you expect to find in their TOS? What if I send them an email showing that one of my colleagues is sleeping with the boss. Are they going to guarantee it will get published? In the end it will come down to trust. If they act in a manner that wins the trust of whistleblowers, they'll get whistleblowing. I can't see any of the legalese affecting this one way or the other.
- orblivion 15y agoThe words "Dow Jones" is enough for me to dismiss this, at least as a real competitor to Wikileaks. But sure, to be more serious, plenty of good information outside of their sphere of interest could still get released.
- ceejayoz 15y agoThat just protects Dow Jones. It allows them to sue the anonymous uploader for breach of contract or perjury or whatever if they want (which they don't), but it turns it the rights into the uploader's issue, not Dow Jones'.
