You might have a family to protect. A home to maintain, etc. I understand. It's scary. But the world doesn't and cannot change for the better if we let corporations bully us into silence. The world will and does change when brave individuals, with the support of society, stand up and blow the whistle.

Lol exactly what support will you be providing? Will you contribute to paying this person's salary for the next 10 years? I wish people would quit with the empty platitudes and the rhetoric.

Your comment reminds me of the kind seen from Russian bots. Everything about what you said matches the algos I've seen. Very interesting.

But yes, I would be happy to contribute to a support fund to support such individuals.
