Whistleblowers who have legitimate concerns about something they see happening need to be encouraged to come forward, but their claims and intentions need to be vetted thoroughly before becoming public domain.
@8T25G6C4yrs4Y
Yes but only if the information released with legally obtained and non threatening to our national security
@8Q2P29J4yrs4Y
Yes, but only to help protect those who are having their human rights violated
@8PJMGYM4yrs4Y
There should not be laws at all from the government to influence this issue, whistleblowers should always be taken seriously and then looked into to verify its validity
@tofutofu4yrs4Y
Yes, definitely. Transparency needs to be prioritized and businesses and officials (etc.) need to be held responsible for their actions. Whistleblowers deserve protection, not prosecution. Finding information through illegal means is still done with the benefit and intention of bringing to light harmful and illegal activities of often times powerful people and businesses, so I do not think one should ever be punished when trying to achieve transparency.
@8QCHD32Conservative4yrs4Y
Depends by what the definition of whistle blower is. If its someone who found corruption or highly illegal actions then yes, but if the information is damaging to national security they are not only not to be protected but actively hunted down.
@8XQGLKC3yrs3Y
Yes, Freedom of information act protects them and should stay like that.
@8CRV6LZ5yrs5Y
Yes and make sure they work and are easy and effective to the whistleblower.
@8VLQ88S4yrs4Y
No, use torture to extract information.
@8VGFPVG4yrs4Y
No more laws, we need laws off the books.
@8P3F3JT4yrs4Y
Whistleblowers must be protected.
@EdmundSnow984yrs4Y
Yes, but only if releasing the information does not threaten our national security and only if the information was legally obtained.
@8DC736T5yrs5Y
Yes, in all cases including illegally obtained information. This could lead to people getting war crimes charges.
