France has passed a bill to legalize Edward Snowden-style whistleblowing
- rakoo 12y agoHow misleading. It saddens me that the WP can fall so low. Here is the most important point: > Whistleblowers who avoid the new authority (CNCTR) and send their information directly to the media would still commit an illegal act. Whistleblowers will be able to report misconducts to this authority only. Speaking to the press will still be illegal. > If American whistleblower Edward Snowden were French, he would have had a good chance of remaining a free man. Not a chance. Edward Snowden also expressed concerns, which did not translate into anything. The only moment things started to move was when Edward Snowden started speaking with the press.
