Create a service for long-term storage with an easy integration API; the idea would be that if you integrate your data with our service, and you eventually (maybe you're going out of business, or something) make a call to delete data, that data is first transferred to our service before deleting it on your end.
Integrating with us is basically like making a reservation in advance, so when you do perform the big delete like what's happening to these groups, it's offloaded to this service first.
I have no good idea about how to store/structure the data, or how it would make money. But I also have no idea if there's an easier solution to problems like this, where you force users to scramble to save all their stuff somewhere. People would also begin judging services by whether their data will be saved once it's terminated (ie whether you integrate with us or not), so I feel like that would ultimately bring in a lot of customers.
With modifications, maybe. Like, you don't have to store everything on the service's end until you're ready to delete it. Also we don't seem to have a P2P service with the kind of contract I mentioned.
Redundancy is built-in P2P, so deletion is not an issue.
(Popularity is - but systems like Flixxo have tried to tackle the issue...)
Also, what about IPFS ?
