I'm writing a paper for my ethics class on Whistleblowing, and specifically how it has been aided by the Internet. If anyone knows of any resources, pointers, etc., I would greatly appreciate it. The results will be published on-line, and I can send a copy to anyone who is interested as well. I am interested in information covering both the private sector and the government as well. I do know that the Federal Government has an online BBS where you can send in information on fraud, etc. What I have uncovered so far: + As far as a Lexis/Nexis search goes, I only found a few articles, and they centered around the Tobacco Papers, and the Scientology debate. + I located the Whistleblowing FAQ and contacted its author, but its last update was in 1994 and it is no longer being maitained. + I visited a couple of other related Internet sites (I searched using many search engines), but they don't really have examples of using the Internet for whistleblowing purposes. + I am also aware of the majority of Anonymity/Privacy sites on the Internet, and will definitely be utilizing them in the paper. Overall, I am quite surprised that there isn't a whistleblowing clearinghouse on the Internet; a site sponsored by a non-profit that lists email addresses and secure forms for sending anonymized email to those areas of the public and private sector that deal with whistleblowing. As the Internet is a great medium for information dissemination, and offers significant privacy advantages, I really expected to find much more. Is anyone else working in this area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
