But isn't the primary point of the canaries to give people the information that the government has been requesting some sort of information? A secondary point would be that this might prevent the government from doing so in the first place.
- vonmoltke 8y agoIf the government has declared that giving people such information is illegal, it doesn't matter how that information is conveyed.
- nradov 8y agoIt absolutely does matter once the case comes before a federal court. Those cases are often decided based on very subtle issues of law and precedent, and they don't always go in the government's favor.
