NSL can not compel you to lie, it can only compel you to stay silent. There’s decently extensive case law to support that.

- ben_w 8y agoI’m not a lawyer, I’ve merely read news stories about how NSLs and associated court cases are overly-secret (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit). Given what was reported in the Lavabit case, how sure are you that there is no secret caselaw which does, in fact, require companies to lie?
- jsjohnst 8y agoLook up the case law surrounding “compelled speech” if you’d like more details.
