Hear me out: A Nostr Service where you can send leaked private keys to:

1. delete everything from those keys everywhere

2. watch for new posts from those keys and delete them as well, forever.

The main idea is to block attackers from using your keys.

The second idea is to let everyone know that their info can indeed be deleted at any time if a person gets your key. If you are using relays that accept deletion events, your Nostr content can be purged from existence.

Have your backups. Don't think relays will be there for you when this happens.

The request would need to be signed by the leaked key, similar to an SSL certificate revocation list. That affrms that either 1) the owner requested the revocation, or 2) the key was leaked and someone else requested the revocation.

The same mechanism could be used for de facto account deletion, if all relays honored it.
