Reasoning and premisesPremises: the law question asks for the following. A provision prohibiting retaliation against employees or others who disclose risks or violations, or requiring a channel for such disclosures. A general complaint mechanism for users is noted but does not meet the criterion. Partly if the protection applies only by reference to another law. The inspected scope of New York RAISE Act, Chapter 96 (2026) was: Bill text §§ 1–5, including GBL §§ 1420–1429 as re-added. Terms searched: “whistle|retaliat|employee”. Passages read and not counted: GBL § 1422(1) as re-added, p. 5: A mechanism for frontier developers or members of the public to report critical safety incidents to the office; a general reporting channel, with no protection against retaliation. The conclusion is bounded by that scope and method.

Selekoa practice: metadata, attributed paraphrases and short attributed quotations under the editorial policy (at most 50 words each; at most 400 quoted words per document across the dataset, and about 10% of a document under about 2,000 words). Documents are linked externally, not redistributed. Publisher terms that forbid quotation override this practice.
