Were I an activist involved with this, I think that providing a "dead man's switch as a service" could be quite useful. Were I to engage in risky journalism, while living in close proximity to these gang wars, I'd want a way to spill additional information to the media were I to go missing.

Depends on the information you have. They just might kill you and take the hit on the information to send a message not to mess with them like that.
