Instead of thanking whistleblowers for their bug reports and fixing the problem, the current administration is pursuing them with every means at their disposal.
Edit - things are not looking great for journalists either.
Whistleblowing, like all things must be done in a correct and legal way. Randomly spreading FUD because some large institution functions in ways you don't fully understand is not going to help as much as it will force them to spend money on damage control because you caused them damage. It's a vicious cycle and neither affected party is good when both are doing unlwaful things.
