Psst.org Incorporated
Psst is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and nonpartisan organization designed to revolutionize whistleblowing. As the act of speaking up becomes riskier and riskier, we as a society must find new ways to check society’s power brokers, especially in 'Silicon Valley'. Psst does this by collectivising whistleblowing and thus diffusing the risks associated with speaking up. Through its secure repository, "Psst Safe," tech insiders can record their concerns, whether big or small, about unchecked power while protecting their identities. Individual deposits in the repository are vetted for authenticity and analyzed to uncover patterns among deposits. Patterns are used to create complete stories and/or legal cases; depositors are given the option to be part of the collective, always with legal and safety measures in place. In addition to the Psst Safe, Psst also provides direct support for whistleblowers who decide to take the more traditional route via Psst Protect; helps vet, organize and publish (or assist in publishing) stories via its Psst Story program, and through Psst Advocate ensures information does not die with the 24-hour news cycle but instead creates lasting change. The brainchild of three whistleblowing support veterans with deep legal, journalistic and advocacy backgrounds, Psst re-imagines how to keep the public better informed and hold corporations accountable for their actions.
