Information educates and enables an individual to function well in society. In some countries, the government controls the flow of information and dictates what people should and should not know. Almost all countries have certain types of data that are considered sensitive and not freely shared due to security concerns. Confidential information, like certain government policy decisions, is sometimes kept secret without considering public welfare. In such cases, people who have access to confidential information may make it openly available. This act is called whistleblowing. Just as a referee blows a whistle calling a foul in any sport, a whistleblower blows the lid off any foul play on the part of a government. The governments of many countries are against whistleblowing because it sometimes creates a risk to national security. However, whistleblowers believe that governments should be held responsible for their mistakes. Lately, whistleblowers have turned to social media to expose misconduct in actions by governments. Most whistleblowers are often torn between their loyalty to their work organization and loyalty to the public. However, depending on the impact of the confidential information, most whistleblowers choose to stay loyal to the public. Many social activists support whistleblowing because, apart from ensuring the right to free speech, it enlightens the public about the decisions taken behind closed doors.
