  You give it to whoever asks for it or you never get another source again.

    This isn’t a “source”. This is a corporate spokesperson

      Was this corporate spokesperson authorized to talk to this outlet about this topic? Just because they’re a spokesperson doesn’t mean they can talk freely.

        Yes, that’s what a spokesperson is. Did you read the article? If it was a leak that would have been stated.

      Even though it's a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn't have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it...

        Untrue. Reddit employees doing what their bosses tell them to are justifiably afraid of the blowback. Reminds me of the directive to not wear Reddit branding with the 3rd party app thing These folks don’t want targets on their back.

      In journalism, a source is a person, publication, or knowledge of other record or document that gives timely information. Outside journalism, sources are sometimes known as “news sources”. Examples of sources include official records, publications or broadcasts, officials in government or business, organizations or corporations, witnesses of crime, accidents or other events, and people involved with or affected by a news event or issue.

  The anti evil operations team has done this in the past.

    What the fuck is “the anti evil operations team”? That sounds like corpospeak for a team that does deeply evil shit

  Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what’s happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc…

    Are you seriously suggesting there is no way to grant whistleblowers anonymity without granting it to corporate spokespeople providing statements on behalf of the company? You’re a fucking idiot
