Are you sure about that? I recall reading, in reference to canary clauses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary) that the government can and has required lying. If there's an ongoing national security concern, I would expect that they would.
- gowld 8y agoThe article you linked is primarily a disproof of your claim. It cites some hearsay speculation that Warrant Canaries are illegal, and cites several court cases that say Warrant Canaries are protected and compelled lies are illegal: "West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette and Wooley v. Maynard rule the Free Speech Clause prohibits compelling someone to speak against one's wishes; this can easily be extended to prevent someone from being compelled to lie."
