Digital whistleblowing

Digital whistleblowing refers to the act of reporting unethical or illegal activities within an organization using online platforms or electronic communication channels. It typically involves secure, anonymous, or confidential digital methods—such as websites, email, or specialized apps—to help protect the whistleblower from retaliation. This process enables individuals to share concerns about misconduct, corruption, or violations safely and efficiently, fostering transparency and accountability in workplaces and institutions. Digital whistleblowing tools are designed to support ethical practices while safeguarding the identity and rights of those who come forward.
