Per PR description:

> Removed warrant canary (we still have never received a NSL or FISA order, but we are removing this language now to avoid a future situation where we receive one but are not permitted to remove the statement from our policy)

yeah, is that more believable? Maybe, I cannot tell.

Thanks, I was wondering what they meant in the announcement by:

> warrant canaries for NSL/FISA orders are no longer considered best practice

I think “thinks that removing a warrant canary may be illegal” is a bigger story than the “removes warrant canary” part.

Is that a hypothetical, or does that imply that the government is compelling some people to retain false canaries?
