Gee, thanks for explaining what government contracting is. I wasn't aware. /s Contractors are also protected under existing whistleblower laws. There are clearly codified protocols…

This protocol is meant for non-government agencies, i.e. tech companies. Don't obfuscate the intended purpose of this protocol. There are well-defined, existing whistleblower proto…

Politics have been destroying Silicon Valley. This restores my faith in tech. I believe that the spirit of innovation and diversity of thought still has a chance to prevail if peop…
