@bpfreespeech.bsky.socialWhistleblower Simon Andriesz spent years asking the FCA to investigate his concerns, and for protection against retaliation. After his death, the regulator faces calls for an external inquiry – and for its chair to resign.

@wemoral.comPortugal's whistleblower law, the Lei n.º 93/2021, flips the timeline against the employer.
Any payback within two years of a report is presumed illegal until the employer proves otherwise. Fines reach €250,000, set by the anti-corruption body MENAC.

@wemoral.comBoeing whistleblower John Barnett spent 32 years at the company. As a 787 quality manager he warned the FAA of stray metal shavings near flight controls and 1 in 4 oxygen masks failing tests. In 2024, mid-deposition in his retaliation case, he was found dead. #whistleblowing
@wemoral.comThe US SEC has paid whistleblowers over 2.2 billion dollars, including one 279 million dollar award. The UK now copies the model, with HMRC paying 15-30%. The EU and Poland still say no bounty, only protection.
Should tipsters get paid for their information?
@wemoral.comFinland's whistleblower law, the ilmoittajansuojelulaki, has a gap.
The whole country runs through one central state channel. But there is no administrative fine for an employer that fails to set up a channel, while a false report is a criminal fine.
@wemoral.comWhistleblower Linda Tripp secretly recorded about 20 hours of calls with her friend Monica Lewinsky and handed them to prosecutor Ken Starr in 1998. The tapes helped impeach Bill Clinton. The Pentagon then illegally leaked her files, and she won over $595,000. #whistleblowing

@wemoral.comPhone hotlines log caller IDs. Email keeps headers and signatures. Postal mail carries handwriting. A web form is the one whistleblowing channel where revealing your identity is a choice, not a side effect of the tech.
@wemoral.comRomania's whistleblower law, the Legea 361/2022, has one of the EU's lowest fine ceilings, 40,000 lei (about €8,000).
But a losing employer must publish the court ruling in a newspaper at its own cost, and the press must be invited to the disciplinary panel.
@wemoral.comAmerica's first whistleblowers were two Navy officers, Samuel Shaw and Richard Marven, who reported their commodore for mistreating prisoners in 1777. He had them jailed. Congress responded with the first US whistleblower-protection law on 30 July 1778. #whistleblowing

@aidailypost.comWhen AI agents start tattling on cheating rivals in a math showdown, the whole LLM community buzzes. What does this mean for AI safety and the power struggles at DeepMind, OpenAI, and beyond? Dive into the drama. #AIAgents #Whistleblowing #AISafety
@wemoral.comRemote misconduct doesn't happen at the water cooler. It happens in DMs, private channels and 1:1 calls where nobody else is watching.
In one poll, 48% of remote workers read return-to-office orders as micromanagement, not productivity.
Lead with trust, not tracking.
@aidailypost.comNew research shows AI agents are actually calling each other out for cheating—think DeepMind vs OpenAI in a digital whistleblowing showdown. Can multi‑agent systems stay aligned? Dive into the findings! #AIAgents #DeepMind #Whistleblowing
