Could you build this?
Partial A web form for anonymous submissions is easy, but compliance with European whistleblowing legal directives requires rigorous cryptographic guarantees, zero-metadata infrastructure, and strict chain of custody.
What it would actually take: A compliant whistleblowing platform requires end-to-end PGP/asymmetric encryption, Tor/onion service integration, strict zero-log proxy layers, and auditing against legal compliance frameworks like EU Directive 2019/1937. Architecture involves hardened Docker containers, backend encryption microservices, and client-side encryption before payload transmission.
