Whistleblower and activist are not mutually exclusive. Most are both, like Snowden was both. Reality Winner too. And whether I agree with someone views is really not relevant toward whether they are whistleblower.

I’d go one step further and say a whistleblower is by definition an activist. The entire point of leaking is to instigate change.
