I think a fully distributed storage system must be the way here. There must be some IPFS type system where Harvard could say "we designated a set of data that we can add to as needed but only delete from with a critical mass of storage providers' consent, here are some instructions for you to add your spare capacity to become a storage provider".

I was just thinking IPFS or possibly even some blockchain solution for this. Bram Cohen (the creator of bittorrent) also has a new project I think in the DePin sector.

Sensitive information just can't be hosted on a centralized server anymore, it has to be distributed for the good of the project.

This sounds an awful lot like Pied Piper!
