if you've gotten an NSL, can you say "we are not under any kind of gag order or other confidentiality obligations."

if you've gotten an NSL, can you say "we are not under any kind of gag order or other confidentiality obligations."
- ceejayoz 8y agoFrom the FBI's (or whoever issued it) perspective, I believe they'd say you're even required to do that, as saying otherwise implies the existence of the order you're not allowed to disclose the existence of. The EFF would say requiring you to say that is a violation of the First Amendment as it's prior restraint. The SEC might say it's illegally lying to shareholders. In short: We don't really know.
