Potentially severe for leaking company IP. There are explicit legal protections for whistleblowing to the SEC but I don't believe there is anything protecting one's right to go to journalists with privileged information. However, Facebook would be 100% insane to press legal charges because that just drags this on even longer and reinforce the perception that they're bullies

- q1w2 5y agoThey have no choice. They MUST enforce their IP. That's how IP law works. If you don't contest it - you lose ownership of it.
