Is that a good thing?
- dylz 6y agoThis depends on your threat model.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoExactly. This greatly reduces the chance that say the Chinese government tampered with your security device. It might or might not affect the fact that the US government tampers with things at times, including Snowden's revelation of intercepting imported goods.

- zhengyi13 6y agoThreat model again: what if you're concerned that they themselves are unaware their hardware's been compromised?
- jon-wood 6y agoHas anyone actually tested a warrant canary in court yet? It seems pretty transparent to me that if a court order says you can’t publish that it’s been received that also covers continuing to update the canary.
- URSpider94 6y agoI don't know if it's been explicitly tested, but the concept of the canary was developed specifically because there's strong case law that the government can in rare cases compel your silence, but pretty much can never command you to speak specific language (can't put words in your mouth).
