Back when I ran the firewalls (20+ of them, several different types) at SEC's EDGAR project, I remember the moaning and wailing from submittors (you could either individually make EDGAR filings as a corporation, OR there were a bunch of companies that specialized in EDGAR filings. . . ).
ALL complained when we upgraded firewalls. All IMMEDIATELY stopped whining when we pointed out that if you wanted that "insider" financial information released to self-selected portions of the public prior to official release, we could always leave things the way they were. . . .

nowadays, doing firewalls for the DoD
