Do we know for sure that the Deadman’s switch was activated?
“Do we know for sure that the Deadman’s switch was activated?”
No. This is conjecture. But what is not conjecture is that Wikileaks releases since Assange’s “disappearance” are not the same authentication-wise, as before; and that they have contained unusual errors in spelling, etc., which was also not the case before.
Speculating then that IF something happened, and Assange was taken from the Embassy, then the switch would have automatically come into play (since he wouldn’t have been able to reset it).
whoever took him (assuming they did) must have had a plan to deal with that; hence, perhaps the DDS attack.
Certainly IF he was taken, it was part of a well-thought-out plan by one or more governments, with back-ups, etc.
