I mean

Bad explanation

Those "People" could be spys

Well

To expose a secret

Anyone is a spy

Ciuld be anyone

But

Still a traitor

What if the secret is a corrupted evil

That will do more harm

Still traitor

A traitor

To evil

But a hero to good

Depeneds on what stance you are on what side

I gueas

Guess*

How is it good to not go the proper routes?

Difference from hero and traitor

Okay

Would you want to know

If someone was secretly trying to kill u

Its my understanding that we're talking about government secrets

@Deleted User nah maybe i deserved it?

Depends

Its a hard question

Not really

Kinda is

It depends

Why would they wanna kill me then

What they realease

Exactly

I have no point to know

They're only as traitorous as the country is truthful

there are several legitimate ways to be a whistle blower but many times those aren't followed and instead you get a data dump and the leaker becomes famous

Leaking government info in today's age is almost always heroism

not really

Manning and Snowden both harmed the US

very helpful for terrorists, Russia, and China
