I thought it was the warrant canary of their email provider (Riseup) that died in 2016. Did Wikileaks ever even have a canary? Riseup currently has a canary[1]

Riseup currently has a canary[1], they state that it would not trigger for "gag orders, FISA court orders, National Security Letters" which seems like it makes it pretty useless.

- b112 2y agoThis says nothing about it being a canary. All canaries are stated as such. Instead, all I see is some debate about PGP. I can believe that only one submission ever used it. PGP is not friendly to people who barely undersrand how computers work (99.999% of the population), and some panicking whistleblower isn't interested in taking a layman's course in crypto to send some docs. So why would wikileaks renew their useless(from their perspective) PGP key?
