HN! If I had a recorded phone call, emails and chats I thought it would be the better for the public to know about, how would I go ahead and share such in the best and most anonymous way?

First of all know that California is a two party consent state. You’d be putting yourself in grave legal danger if your identity could be inferred from a leaked recorded phone call.

Would that apply to an international call?

Not that I am encouraging the GP. I upvoted the “laaaaaaaawyer” comment.

theverge and theinformation have tip lines/e-mails, and you can message them, or write to one of the reporters writing about that directly. I would trust them to keep the confidentiality

I believe most major news orgs have secure anonymous mechanisms for communicating with them. E.g. the guardian etc.

Stop thinking about posting things and talk to a lawyer. I'm 100% serious here. Depending on what you post you could end up either a) sued for libel/slander/illegally recording (CA is a two-party consent state), or b) you could end up called as a witness for any legal action in the fallout of this situation. Seriously, look out for yourself, my dude, there's billions of dollars at stake here, and in a fight between whales the shrimp's back gets broken.
