Abstract: This article analyzes in details the legal and political aspects of the whistleblower phenomenon, drawing not only on the famous examples of Julian Assange (Wikileaks) and Edward Snowden, but also on the precursors and how their actions may have inspired our two protagonists of the 2010's. The author offers a reflection on the merits of revealing the secrets kept by our governments, and the legitimacy of the methods used by Assange or Snowden.
