  It's on brand for Uber. Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons in the worst way. Really pushing the limits of the ends justifying the means.

  That's actually an interesting point! Other than the term "informant" or "insider" I can't really think of how you would describe this type of thing. There's whistleblowers, and death bed confessions. I suppose someone could simply be called a "tattle tale" or a "former employee", but neither really describes the act of revealing knowledge that was not publicly available. "Leaker" might fit, but that seems to be more for someone who is a current employee, who is trying to disclose information in a secretive manner. Advocate has an equally weird meaning, too. Can anyone else think of a better term?

    Perhaps “disgruntled former employee”? “Disgruntled” is a term that often comes up in mandatory security training and describes people to whom you probably do not want to share production secrets.
