Socialism doesn't require the government owning everything. Most socialist believe in markets, just not unregulated markets

That's a communist, not a socialist.
Socialists (plenty of them, at least) still believe in a market economy.
They just recognize that a "free market" is a theoretical concept that cannot exist in the real world. So they accept that, and channel markets appropriately.

Honestly even if all the files really are released, with none destroyed, he will have a hard time stopping the conspiracy theories demanding that "the rest of the files" be released.

There should have been a huge outcry like in old movies. All the reporters yelling over each other, asking if what they just heard was real
