Trimmed from the ISOC Live feed of Hackers On Planet Earth 2026. Transcript TK.

The world has never needed whistleblowers more, and technology has made it both easier and more dangerous to be a whistleblower. The panelists (all whistleblowers themselves) discuss what it takes to be a successful whistleblower, from knowing when and how to speak up to dealing with the psychological impacts of blowing the whistle. Other topics include common mistakes and misconceptions, as well as how to stay safe and dealing with the potential fallout, including trial or prison.
