- Sacho 10y agoI think it's reasonable to speculate that their canary might as well have not existed for the purposes of determining legal consequence. Without the expected uproar over an agency forcing a canary down, the agency has no reason to apply legal pressure on the company. Thus, reddit's canary gives you no real information about the likely reaction of a govt agency to the practice, and certainly no information about a court's view on its legality.
