Prof. Kitrosser Quoted in The Washington Post on Whistleblower Anonymity 

Professor Kitrosser was quoted in a Washington Post story entitled, “Facebook and YouTube Block Spread of Supposed Whistleblower’s Name and Photo. Twitter Allows Both.” Kitrosser explains that the relevant whistleblower protection statute—the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act—does not bar private parties from naming the whistleblower. She added, however, that “[i]f a person’s life is in danger ... there could be criminal ramifications,” although those ramifications would be subject to First Amendment considerations.
