Australian Government Using Data Retention Law To Seek Out Journalists' Sources, Hunt Down Whistleblowers | Techdirt
"The Australian government wants to punish whistleblowers but finds
they're often difficult to track down. It's just so much easier to find
those they leak documents to, like
journalists, and work towards getting them to divulge their sources. The
"best" part about the new data retention laws is that those seeking
whistleblowers to punish won't have to confront journalists directly. In
fact, they may never need to speak to them at all."
