My nephew once told me he fooled people into thinking he solved the Rubiks Cube by taking it apart and putting it back together again. I told him, "No, you solved it."
I want the gaudy and massively over the top. Do lairs have to be under the ocean or in volcano craters? Hell no, but it's cooler if they are.
...Maybe check the writing style of the author and find a baseline of syntax and grammar, and alert if it deviates?
Writers like Dexter Palmer, whose 3 books vary wildly in style and subject matter, would be screwed.
Also, that check would be easily fooled. There have been style checkers for years that had to be trained. I remember when Microsoft announced they were adding a style checker to Word that if it were trained on Hemingway, it would flag anything not written like Hemingway.
The solution is to write the important ideas into law...
Unfortunately, we've had decades of laws that cede Congress's power to the executive branch. Congress writes laws giving federal agencies powers to write regulations, instead of Congress doing its job and writing those regulations as law. That's why the President can make so many sweeping changes by executive order.
... my initial thought is, "That's a shit lot of data to lose in one go"
Buy two and back up often.
What Google really needs is to split the search and advertising "business" from each other.
That's impossible, because there is no money in search. It's something they give away to draw you to the ads.
