I think that is overstating it. If you compare doing this to simply emailing en clair from a personal or work computer is it significantly more secure. If the leaker is already under close physical or technical surveillance there is very little they can do about it.

The additional risk is the assumption of protection. Someone who doesn't use this site and knows they are under watch may decide not to leak the information because they're aware of their risk. They could get a false sense of security from this site and leak information they otherwise wouldn't have, and are likely to be caught.
