The Signals Network — Tech Accountability Project

What it does

Tech workers with public-interest concerns, including those considering going to media.

Honest assessment

Distinctive for covering the non-legal costs of whistleblowing — housing, mental health, career — which are what actually break people, and which legal-only services do not touch. The media-coordination function makes it the right partner when the intended endpoint is publication rather than regulatory action. Funded by donations and grants; no fee stated.
