Description
Restore Britain publishes a tiered whistleblowing approach (low sensitivity via submission link; medium via Signal; high via an Onion address) and warns against uploading confidential/personal/classified documents via the low-sensitivity route. This requires strong intake controls, user guidance, and disciplined internal handling. (Source: Restore Britain Whistleblowing)
