Can a canary work with that much specificity?
I might be very wrong here but I thought canaries were legal because they were generalized. A specific person couldn't be alerted that they were a target, they'd just know someone using the service was a target.

- gnode 7y ago> I thought canaries were legal because they were generalized. The theoretical legal basis is typically that the government can't compel you to speak against your wishes, or at least can't compel you to lie. That said, this is untested and controversial, and many lawyers believe that the discontinuation of a warrant canary could be interpreted as a violation of the gag order. Courts often frown upon technical workarounds, and interpret around them.
