tombstones are your friend
they identify the content, without revealing the content, and specify that the content is DED
and further, step outside of the dumb relay mindset, and think about a chanserv bot for this situation. it can keep tombstones of deleted data for a long time, they are not big data compared to what they refer to, and nobody can republish them
#realy already uses tombstones... i haven't written the GC for it yet but they already have timestamps
RIP <event ID> <ded at unix timestamp X>
