I would word this even more specifically:

warning:: If you plan to use SecureDrop to maintain your anonymity, be aware that contacting 
    Freedom of the Press Foundation for technical support, in particular using your real name, 
    email address, or identifying details, can compromise this anonymity.

Agreed but I don't like implying that there are situations where sources should contact FPF for support with other orgs' instances. Updated to ++specificity.
