Whistleblowing Policy

Report Issues Responsibly

This Whistleblowing Policy explains how reports, tips, evidence, and frustrating public-interest issues may be submitted to IT SUCKS!. It outlines what can be reported, what evidence is expected, how source confidentiality is handled, and which dangerous or legally sensitive materials must not be sent. The policy also explains that submission does not guarantee publication and that IT SUCKS! may review, reject, summarize, edit, or use information at its discretion.

I. Purpose

IT SUCKS! may accept reports, tips, documents, screenshots, links, messages, or other information about public nonsense, questionable behavior, bad practices, misleading conduct, institutional stupidity, corporate absurdity, media failures, political clownery, or other frustrating matters that deserve attention.

This policy explains what may be reported, what evidence is expected, how sources are handled, and what will not be accepted.

IT SUCKS! is not a government agency, law firm, newsroom with a security bunker, or international investigation unit. It is a frustration-powered website with opinions, commentary, criticism, and a limited appetite for unnecessary danger.

II. What Can Be Reported

Reports may relate to matters such as:

  • misleading public statements;
  • questionable business practices;
  • poor customer treatment;
  • ridiculous corporate behavior;
  • public hypocrisy;
  • media mistakes or silent corrections;
  • political nonsense;
  • abuse of public trust;
  • dishonest advertising;
  • unfair policies;
  • broken systems;
  • behavior that is legal but still deeply annoying;
  • other frustrating issues that may deserve public criticism or commentary.

The issue should be more than a personal irritation. It should have some public relevance, public interest, wider pattern, or enough absurdity to justify being reviewed.

In simple terms: if something genuinely sucks and there is evidence, it may be worth reporting.

III. Evidence Is Required

Reports should include evidence wherever possible.

Useful evidence may include:

  • screenshots;
  • emails;
  • documents;
  • public links;
  • archived pages;
  • videos;
  • audio recordings, where legally obtained;
  • receipts;
  • terms, notices, or policy pages;
  • dates, times, names, and relevant context;
  • a clear explanation of what happened and why it matters.

Vague claims, rumors, personal grudges, “trust me bro” accusations, and dramatic statements without supporting material are unlikely to be used.

IT SUCKS! may reject, ignore, or decline to publish anything that cannot be reasonably checked.

IV. Source Protection

People may submit information and ask not to be publicly identified as the source.

Where reasonable, Milan will not voluntarily publish the name, email address, private contact details, or identifying information of a source.

However, source protection has limits. IT SUCKS! cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality in every possible situation, especially where disclosure is required by law, court order, safety concerns, technical limitations, or circumstances outside Milan’s control.

Sources should not submit anything they are not comfortable sharing under these limits.

V. Anonymous Reports

Anonymous reports may be accepted, but they are harder to verify.

A report submitted anonymously should include stronger evidence, clearer context, and enough detail to allow independent review.

Anonymous accusations without evidence are not useful and may be ignored.

VI. Safety Limits

IT SUCKS! does not invite, request, or publish material involving:

  • military secrets;
  • classified information;
  • intelligence or security operations;
  • active police, military, or counterterrorism matters;
  • private security-sensitive information;
  • hacking, leaked credentials, or stolen access;
  • instructions for illegal activity;
  • information likely to put someone in serious physical danger;
  • anything that could realistically cause Milan to “accidentally fall out of a window.”

This website is for exposing frustration, absurdity, hypocrisy, and public nonsense. It is not for spy-movie material, dangerous leaks, or situations that require lawyers, police, secure drop boxes, or a new identity in another country.

VII. No Emergency Reporting

This website is not an emergency reporting channel.

If there is an immediate risk to life, safety, health, or property, the appropriate emergency service, regulator, authority, employer reporting channel, or qualified professional should be contacted directly.

Do not rely on IT SUCKS! for urgent intervention.

VIII. Review and Verification

Milan may review submitted information before deciding whether to use it.

This may include:

  • checking public sources;
  • asking follow-up questions;
  • requesting additional evidence;
  • removing unnecessary personal information;
  • declining to use material that is unclear, unsafe, irrelevant, defamatory, or impossible to verify.

Submission does not guarantee publication.

IT SUCKS! may publish a report, summarize it, use it as background, contact the subject for comment, write an opinion article based on it, or do absolutely nothing with it.

IX. Responsible Publication

When information is used, IT SUCKS! may edit, summarize, redact, or paraphrase material for clarity, safety, privacy, legal protection, and readability.

Private personal information may be removed unless it is genuinely necessary and lawful to include.

The goal is to criticize relevant actions, decisions, statements, systems, products, organizations, or public conduct, not to recklessly expose private individuals to unnecessary harm.

X. False or Malicious Reports

Reports must be submitted honestly.

Do not submit information that is knowingly false, manipulated, forged, misleading, illegally obtained, or intended only to harass, threaten, blackmail, defame, or damage someone for personal revenge.

IT SUCKS! may reject such reports and may preserve relevant records if needed for legal, safety, or abuse-prevention purposes.

Frustration is welcome. Fake evidence is not.

XI. No Payment or Reward

IT SUCKS! does not offer payment, reward, commission, favor, special treatment, or dramatic secret-agent status for reports.

Reports should be submitted because the issue is frustrating, relevant, and worth attention, not because someone expects money or revenge.

XII. Privacy and Data Handling

Reports may include personal information such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, message content, attachments, and technical data.

This information may be used to review the report, verify details, prevent abuse, protect the website, respond to legal issues, and manage communication with the source.

Where possible, unnecessary personal information should not be submitted.

For more information, see the Privacy Policy.
