Sophie Zhang shares a key takeaway: Know yourself, know what you're willing to risk, and use that as your starting principle. She also offers essential tips for whistleblowers on protecting themselves and making informed decisions before going public. @szhang_ds

Most whistleblowers remain anonymous, with only a few choosing to step into the public eye. In 2024, TSN supported 40 whistleblowers across 10 countries, but only three chose to reveal their identities.

In these uncertain times, it’s crucial to recognize the role of whistleblowers in exposing the truth. From Theranos to Facebook, Uber, Google and OpenAI, their courage has uncovered critical issues within the tech industry.

Whistleblowers will remain essential in holding Big Tech and governments accountable and protecting them is more important than ever.

We were thrilled to attend the panel on "Defying Invisibility: Muslim Narratives & Writing the Wrongs" at MPAC Hollywood Bureau's The Muslim House at SXSW This panel was one of the most entertaining of the week, as well as funny, poignant, and important. Now we're more excited than ever to watch Deli Boys and Muslim Matchmaker! As Hoda Abrahim said on the panel: "These stories are needed." The audio of the panel is now available through the SXSW website. 1/n
