Whistle blowing laws also exist, though.

So if they are doing something illegal, and therefore one is protected from prosecution, they should absolutely "leak" it to the authorities.

Doesnt matter if you are unemployable if you recieve millions in a whistle blowing reward from the government.

Not all countries have whistleblowing protections, and even fewer will offer fiscal rewards for the act.

But the US has them. And anyone who is working for a major tech company is "probably" working in the US and therefore covered by them.

And yes, the US offers rewards as well. Specifically, it is something like 10% of the monetary judgment against the company, in many cases.
