    Preventing leaks and stopping whistleblowers sure sounds a lot like Data Loss Prevention, which anyone and everyone should value.

    They’re an IT consultant. It’s not far fetched to think a governmental agency handling classified material would seek to implement measures to prevent the dissemination of such material. They’re highly likely to have instances of UAP that happen to be actual flights from classified developmental aircraft, and it stands to reason that such instances rightly deserve to be kept secret and the leaking of such information poses a security risk. And honestly, we really need to get better at using the terms around whistleblowing.

    Is AARO doing something illegal, immoral, illicit, unsafe or fraudulent? If not it’s just old fashioned leaking. Just because you think you have a right to such information doesn’t mean that it’s illegal for it to be kept from you.

      That’s a fair point and makes a lot of sense in this context. Thank you.

      I’m in agreement with you here. I do believe the new UAP Amendment is aimed at tackling this.
