Why we used this label
The proposal is conditional and rhetorically framed; it does not establish either that Sacks endorses every allegation or that a regulatory halt exists.
Context
Before the quotation
Coxon's resignation and other researchers' warnings prompted debate about Anthropic's conduct and AI development speed.
After the quotation
Keep the original quotation marks around whistleblower. This is not an official government action; CNBC later reported that Anthropic declined to comment on this particular post.
