Julian Assange, of WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks had a long time policy of maintaining an Insurance file, a heavily encrypted file that can only be opened with the correct key. This was supposed to keep them safe, because they'd release the key if something was to happen to Assange, with the threat that whatever is in that file is enough to take down anyone who would kill Assange.

Assange was taking refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy of London for like 8 years. If he left the embassy he'd be arrested and likely extradited to the US.

Basically the WikiLeaks twitter started acting strange and there were a couple of incidents around the embassy, which got some anons interested so people were keeping tabs on things. Assange himself started mentioning being spied on in the embassy. Then suddenly the place goes dark and immediately after the internet across the world starts going dark or not working. Anons were keeping tabs on things at this point and noticed the WikiLeaks twitter tries to send out some messages but they're garbled and don't make sense. They don't work on the insurance file, but they do look like partial keys. At the same time anons saw a high priority government flight leaving London directly for the US.

THEY blame the internet outages on a massive cyberattack but everyone who was watching knows that They literally briefly shut off the internet to disrupt the Dead Man switch from releasing the insurance key. Assange later appeared in a short video that was clearly deepfaked and not once since. Later that year they 'officially' arrested him and there's been some pageantry about his court case but most of us know WikiLeaks itself is compromised and Assange is either dead or deep in some government holding facility.

tl;dr a Deadman switch isn't enough to stop Them from disappearing you if they want you bad enough.
