Conceivably, Alice could release a public encryption key and promise to release the private decryption key on a certain date. That way anyone could use that encryption key, combined with others from similar services, and throw away the key so the message will only be readable after a certain proportion of the keys have been released.

This procedure is explained here and here.

Does such a service actually exist to date?
