Abstract

Employee whistleblowers expose harmful and unlawful corporate practices, often at great personal cost. Recent examples—including those at Meta, Boeing, OpenAI, Twitter, and Theranos—highlight whistleblowers’ significant societal role. But these examples also showcase the myriad legal uncertainties and obstacles employees face when collecting and disclosing evidence of potentially illegal behavior by their employers.
