Comment on Show HN: Dead man's switch without reliance on your infraparent

Comments

In the US we already have a system that could be used and would be hard to spoof but I am not aware of anyone implementing it. It has a delay of months built into it.

Specifically, the Social Security Death Index. Some months after you die your Social Security number gets listed. It's meant to prevent impersonating a dead person but could be used to shut down accounts etc.
