It will be updated tomorrow morning, just like every Monday morning since April 2006.
- xvector 5y agoWarrant canaries are unreliable. Apple, for example, stopped issuing warrant canaries in Sept. 2014 [1], but was added to the NSA's PRISM program almost 2 years earlier, in Oct. 2012 [2]. But I suppose a warrant canary by nature requires companies to be honest. There's not much you can do if the company is being deceptive with a vaguely phrased canary.

- moonchild 5y agoWhat will you do if the government coerces you into falsely renewing your warrant canary?
- axiosgunnar 5y agoI believe his defense against this is having three locations around the world that all need sign off for a canary to be published. So there is no „the government“.
- MikeUt 5y agoAt least we would eventually learn that the government can do that, and fight it in court.
