> That is what wikileaks was. Nope. Wikileaks was a leak site, that was moderated and filtered. I'm talking about a site that has a visual interface to setup programmatic tripwires. "If I don't log in once a month, release xyz docs." "If I log in from any devices other than x, y, and z, release files ijk" Make it relatively clean, simple, and straightforward. Add an optional 'remainder' system. Storage is fully encrypted. Keys are stored in a separate location, or on physical hardware we send to the customer, who decides what network to attach it to, and where to store it/plug the device in. Switch is triggered? The device sends out the keys to decrypt the file, or posts them in a public place, along with a link to the relevant file. For an even better service, we could provide physical devices that do all this for the customer, and the customers only job is to make sure they are connected to the internet and well concealed from theft. This also protects us from federal agencies uploading illegal material to get us shutdown. We don't host anything, so we're not liable for anything. America and the west need physical electronic deadmans switches, and the sooner those are on the market, the better. As an aside, before its brought up, USB/flash, and having others upload it are *not* the same thing as what I'm suggesting, and don't come anywhere close to providing the necessary features. Likewise physical electronic machines like phones and laptops. For starter, usb/flash require someone to physically access the device. Thats a vector for the deadmans switch to fail Second, the data on them is easily altered or changed. Third, once the devices are accessed, theres nothing stopping the local system, if it runs a common os, like windows, from altering or deleting the files upon detection (don't rule this out either. Welcome to the wonderful world of NSA sponsored windows security updates) Fourth, whoever is doing the uploading, has to find a site to upload all the files, wait for each to upload, and then go on social media, to post the links and keys. This is all a time consuming process, and defeats the purpose of quickly "firing an information bullet" at an opponent. The more time it takes the more time the state has to identify who the uploader will be, where they are uploading, what social media or site they will use to make the dead-drop or post the keys and links, and subsequently block all or some of the leaked data. Even a few minutes could very well mean the difference between success or failure. There can't be any human in the loop. Likewise with computers, which require monitors to access, peripherals, and even if just automated with software, are still fairly bulky, non-portable, and generally difficult to hide for most people, let alone citizen journalists or whistleblowers. A dedicated device can automate all of these things, while appearing non-obvious in purpose, discreet, and remaining fairly portable, and is thus ideal for the task. It need not run compromised operating systems like windows, and its cargo need not be trivially alterable or easily deleted. With a decentralized architecture, multiple devices owned by the same person could even be linked together into a private failsafe network, so if one or more go down, it can automatically signal to the others to trigger the deadman switch. Likewise phones won't cut it here. Phones are easily compromised. Easily tracked. Even burners. They fail. Their batteries are unreliable at best. Tracking and 'system diagnostics' make it all but impossible to disable forced updates, stealth updates, and spying. Custom devices for this purpose absolutely could and would radically change the landscape of whistleblowing in america and across the globe.
