Is this a phenomenon that is unique to the U.S. as far as the protection afforded them by Government and businesses?
People in general, frown on this type of activity but it's a very effective tool for Government and businesses because it could save them money and help discourage fraudulent activities.
On the other hand, if it is done to expose Government secrets, it could get you in a lot of trouble as we saw with Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.
Should snitches get stitches or do they proform a valuable service?

Like most things in life it depends in which situation it is done, whistleblowing is good when it could help stop an abusive person or an abusive situation, but it is not got when it is done to stop a good thing from happening,

Why would a whistleblower want to stop a good thing from happening?

To add....In all professions you have an obligation to report unethical doings if u see it.
Or you will go down with the ship as an accomplice if proven that you were aware of the situation.

The rules are a little different for the neighborhood snitch, he is likely to get stitches.

There are many situations in past history where whistleblowing was not for a good reason, for example the situation of the US soldier Manning, during the apartheid era in South Africa mamy Black whistleblowers help the ruling regime stop resistant movements, during the Slavery era many slaves sold out their own when freedom plans were being formulated.

Snitches belong in ditches...that's a real man's code..
This modern era encouragement of ratting is emasculating...
When I was in cadets...u were taught to sort out issues one on one or suck it up...snitching was always seen as worse than anything you could possibly snitch on...
Life goes on regardless of "unethical' acts...but snitching undermines structures...

I gave the option of not saying anything.
You missed my point. No further retort.
Whistleblowers are company employees who report inappropriate or unethical behavior they discover at work. ... Business owners can learn the ramifications of well-known whistleblower examples to avoid catastrophic legal and financial penalties

What if I work for a company and have inside knowledge of its financial declaration at the end of the quarter.
I reveal that info to my friend who sold his stocks. At the release of the financials, the stock tanked 90%, You owned stocks! how would you feel about the said man code?
Did you have a fair advantage as an investor?

Really dude? Can't you tell the differences between snitching on unlawful behaviors and snitching that undermines camaraderie?
Besides, camaraderie only goes so far, if it crosses into criminal acts, someone will pay the price.

You are mixing street dealing with the ethics of government and corporations.
Suspect you are a low level pulourie dealer in Penal TT.
No fault of your own to be in that demographic

Ends trying to come across as a hardcore man's man with street cred.
He nah fool nobody. 
'Snitching' on a brother who is engaging in something that you all have agreed to is one thing. Calling out crooked people who abuse their power and positions of authority at the expense of poor people and having some protection for loved ones in the process is an entirely different matter.

Is it because it happened to Trump?

Needs to be hauled into court for that

the whistleblower is not a snitch, he works for the COUNTRY not for the president.

That's correct, and Trump's people knew he was committing illegal acts and they tried to hide it by moving it to a secret server.

I don't get how conservatives claim to be champions of good Governance but are willing to allow this sort of crooked behavior.
