It's important to note that anonymous posting does not mean that the content is illegal, only that the publisher wishes to remain unknown. I'm sure SDF takes down any copyright infringement or other illegal content promptly.
- run4yourlives 13y agoAnonymity is not a concept to whistleblower protection; in fact, the opposite - whistleblower protection is a protection of your non-anonymous actions.
- CoryG89 13y agoThis is an interesting concept. I would have first logically arrived at the conclusion that whistleblower protection would exist for anonymous releases of sensitive information. Makes sense though that these are put in place to protect people who come forward with information publicly.
