No, I think there's a difference. Again, I liken this to a poison pill which suggests the die has already been cast - the decision was made not now, in response to a warrant but in 2006. If we do something - like remove the canary

"2. Take the canary down." No. The canary either stays up and is freshened every week or it stays up and doesn't get freshened. Removing it is not part of the procedure at any point.

"The idea that you'll take the warrant down because it has "expired" during your "deliberation" of a warrant ..." There is no situation where we take the warrant canary down. We either keep updating it or

I don't think service of a plain-jane sealed warrant is obstructed or hampered in any way by anything we do, or don't do, with the warrant canary. Therefore it's a very easy call to stop publishing the canary, keep running ou

I would characterize the legal opinions we have received as "wildly divergent". Some of the best discussion and counsel I have had took place during the EFF Canary Summit which was held at NYU in 2014. These disussions took place

No, I am saying that if we receive a "normal" warrant we will log it in the canary in the signed portion. A normal warrant, or a "normal" order for search or seizure, etc., is not out of bounds in a free society - we wil

The canary is edited and signed, manually, by an actual human every Monday morning. I have high confidence that the individual tasked with this can quickly think of another unpredictable metric with which to datestamp the canary.

"I don't understand the value of a warrant canary: if it goes away or is not updated, what is the suggested action of users of the service?" It really depends on how you use rsync.net. The stated purpose of our product is: A

This is correct. See my response to your parent, upthread. The canary already contains a list of all warrants we have ever received - it just so happens that list is zero items long .

"Why not just have more than one canary if you're going to do it this way?" It's not entirely clear from the canary itself but the idea is that we will list all (non secret) warrants in the signed message. Currently, the
