Amber Scorah cofounded Psst , a nonprofit that helps people in the tech industry or the government share information of public interest with extra protections.

Psst’s main offering is a “digital safe”—which users access through an anonymous end-to-end encrypted text box hosted on Psst.org .

Scorah hopes Psst ’s impact on the tech world will be similar to what she experienced when telling her own stories, by using insiders’ accounts to shed light on broader industry issues. “Whether it’s a religion operating off the radar with policies that cause harm or an AI company whose product or policies are causing harm, I have seen the same thing,” she says. “Sunlight has a sanitizing effect.”.
