After reading this thread I had the question on whether it is possible to verify you have certain information without revealing who you are to others.

    Only if it is information that would be available to many people.

    And for every bit of information shared, you have to think of the number of people who have access to the information you are sharing and all of the previous information you shared.

    If someone is aware there is a leak they might generate different versions of the same information to narrow it down.

    If you’re a whistleblower, it also assumes you didn’t make a big stink about the topic.
