"Don't do crimes" or "see something, say something" is a good ideology that should be encouraged, but still an ideology. Companies that don't want whistleblowers to leak stuff should consider not doing crimes.

Keeping silent when seeing a crime commited, could make you accessory to it as well. It is not just about what feels right, it also about following the law.

Wouldn't this fall under C, Coercion: the state threatens with prison, unless you "leak" info about the crimes?

(Could be a good kind of coercion? How unusual)

Saying it whistle-blowing is coercion is also an uncomfortable classification !
