Warrant canary removed: https://opentermsarchive.org/en/memos/telegram-expands-forbidden-uses-data-disclosure-authorities/ https://opentermsarchive.org/en/memos

  Hm, given how many requests Meta and Google disclose annually I dont think a warrant canary is really useful, it implies “we just got 1!” instead of “we just got an additional pile of 200 secret requests from G-7 national governments, one of which is already trying to incarcerate us for not being so forthcoming about compliance”

    Given that you won't know the details of the 1 or 200 requests anyway, I think knowing the difference between 0 and >0 is useful. We do know what 0 means, and anything other than 0 means the platform's got the attention and jurisdiction of outside parties.
