Don’t be a whistleblower. Just exfil the data and drop it somewhere.
Most of the time that data can be traced back to you and/or the recipient is going to want some sort of way to verify that the info is legit.
I think in the case of Chelsea Manning it was anonymous but they traced it back to her through the file metadata.
Install local ai on your hardware. Feed your data to it. Ask it what metadata can be extracted to identify chain of custody. Strip it off, ask it the same. Keep iterating until it cannot pull any useful meta.
Then leak it from a fresh system using a connection that is not directly connected to you.
Easier said than done, but still possible. There are actual crimes committed that people get away with all the time, they just never end up in the news. Unsolvable crime is still a thing, so untraceable leaks can be too.
I absolutely would 100% never trust my personal safety to a slop generator, thank you.
