Summary

We continue to learn about serious wrongdoings on the part of organizations. We discover that corporations are making money at our expense. Or state institutions are corrupt. We discover that these organizations’ practices impact our privacy rights, our health, our children’s safety and our democracies. The information does not always come from the sources we expect: the investigative journalists, regulators or law enforcement officials. Whistleblowers bring these stories to light in many cases: ordinary workers come forward with information, often risking a lot in doing so. In the years to come, there will be more overreaches by organizations wielding unchecked power. There will be more whistleblowers.
