- rms_returns 10y agoJust curious, why is a latest newpaper headline part of a warrant canary?
- null0pointer 10y agoThe idea with a canary is that some government request can stop you from disclosing that request ("hey everyone we got subpoena'd") but they can't stop you from NOT updating a page. Putting a newspaper headline on the page basically provides a timestamp so anyone checking can go "hey, their canary hasn't been updated in 6 months... maybe something happened". At least that's my understanding of it.
- ViViDboarder 10y agoWould a date not suffice?
- null0pointer 10y agoYou can't put the headline in there before it's been published, whereas you can put any date you like.
