DuckDuckGo should have a warrant canary
- mPReDiToR 5y agoWhat if they did have before we started using them, but it's dead? How would we ever know? Does anyone remember a canary on DDG?
- bluGill 5y agoWhat good would that be? They are served with one warrant for something and the canary is gone. you know something happened, but not what. Maybe it is a one time thing, maybe they get them all the time. Maybe it is even a real crime you would approve of a warrant for, maybe it is political. Maybe it is specifically targeted, maybe it is give us everything. For that matter, what is to stop courts from ordering as part of the warrant that the canary stays up?
- pmoriarty 5y agoThis also kind of assumes that DDG is not a honeypot to begin with, which we have no evidence of. Anyone can pay lip service to privacy, but we have no proof they're actually doing anything they say.
