The good colleges that teach computer programming are also teaching marxism and leftism. Finding enough skilled right-leaning computer engineers is a very big challenge, especially when they risk losing their careers in a left-driven sector by associating with the right. This is why there is a general lack of high quality right-leaning social media platforms. There are plenty of management and executive types to sell a right-leaning social media platform, but there simply aren’t enough engineers willing to risk their careers to work for such a company.

Haven’t independently verified this myself (out of house atm), but some hackers on twitter are really embarrassing GETTR in what appears to be the first serious GETTR javascript source code review ... source: https://twitter.com/CoolApps45

Gettr has a ton of bugs, there are rumors that antifa hackers are already getting into the systems, and strangely they chose to integrate Google intimately into the platform. I dont think Gettr is ready for a July4 launch and i cant recommend using it at this time. This could all change quickly if they address community issues and fix these things. Will give it another look in a week or so and see where things are. They still haven’t replied to my email (that they confirmed as received). I offered to send them bug reports and a list of pitfalls to fix.

If the release schedule of your deadman’s switch is known, you also face the risk of your adversary shutting down the entire internet for the few hours your switch is scheduled to be released. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/26/ddos-attack-dyn-mirai-botnet

One of the better ways to prepare a deadman’s switch is to have your lawyer hold the data with instructions on what to do with it if you are killed. Things don’t always go as planned though. https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/renowned-lawyer-who-represented-julian-assange-died-after-being-struck-3518104

Blockchain might have been used by McAfee to store encryption keys or small documents, but there is no way to upload 30 terabytes of data to a blockchain without causing a lot of ruckus from the blockchain nodes who would then need to all store copies of the data. Uploading that much data to the BTC blockchain would also be prohibitively expensive.

Mail can be intercepted in the case of mailing hard drives. Hard drives can be found during searches if you use sneakernet.

While it is technically easy to put 30 terabytes into a disk drive and carry it around, it is not easy to prepare that much data to be hosted without using something like a torrent. McAfee was based out of countries or areas that are not known for great internet upload speeds. If he were to seed the data, the feds could find his network and shut it down before he finishing seeding.

McAfee said his deadman switch would release 30+ terabytes of data. It isn’t easy to move 30 terabytes. If his switch is real i expect data won’t be released for another week or two. If the data is never released, then perhaps we could assume he never died...

I have had a ticket open with GETTR for about a day now with no reply. Ticket #3637

Why was this data deleted from the Maricopa County Recorder’s website? https://web.archive.org/web/20210204121225/https://recorder.maricopa.gov/media/ArizonaExportByPrecinct_110320.txt

I recommend downloading and mirroring the data asap because you never know if it will be targeted for the memory hole or not.

If you want to look through the Maricopa county election data, including adjudication rates, then please have a look. Not sure how @deusxmach1na on twitter got the data, but it seems legit. https://public.tableau.com/profile/deusxmach1na2#!/

Cant recommend gettr at the moment. Lets wait a few days for them to address issues first.

Note that it is in beta now. Things will surely change in a few days as they address bugs and fix issues.
