He has previously released an archive for "insurance" and I imagine either him or his legal team can give the pass phrase to it when he meets some criteria of urgency (gitmo'd)
I don't know how large that archive is, but it probably is nowhere near 18tb. 18TB is a huge size to be honest. If it was all text dumps, what would 18TB compress down to?
- DarkLinkXXXX 11y agoCan lawyers (or anyone, really) do that without being liable themselves?
- LordKano 11y agoMaybe(IANAL)... It all depends on the details of the dead man switch. The lawyers wouldn't be risking much if they have standing instructions to call his brother/sister/mother in the event that they can't reach him for 48 hours(or any other arbitrary time period) and that person updates social media while an agent in a different jurisdiction watches, waiting for the signal to release. Everyone that they know about and can verify has a connection to him has a plausible explanation for their actions. A lawyer should contact a client's family if s/he can't be reached. It's perfectly reasonable for a relative of a missing person to use social media to put out the word. Depending on how incendiary the withheld information is, that may be enough of an incentive for law enforcement to be polite.
