Guardian's Secure Whistleblower Drop; Senate Approves Whistleblower Protection
Guardian Launches SecureDrop System for Whistleblowers. The Guardian has launched a secure platform for whistleblowers to securely submit confidential documents to the newspaper’s reporters. The launch comes a year to the day since the Guardian posted the first of a series of NSA documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, sparking a worldwide debate on surveillance, privacy, and civil liberties. The SecureDrop open-source whistleblowing platform provides a way for sources, who can choose to remain anonymous, to submit documents and data while avoiding virtually all of the most common forms of online tracking.
Senate Approves Intelligence Whistleblower Rights. The Senate bill would expand and codify actions detailed in Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 19, issued by President Obama last October after the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) blocked congressional approval of intelligence community whistleblower rights. This Senate legislation would be stronger than the PPD, which does not protect any disclosures to Congress.
