Re: This is the last backdoor

It's an interesting problem. Triggering a warrant canary - even by inaction - could be considered informing the public, so in that case can the law compel someone to lie?

You could even contrive a warrant canary such that the only way to fake it would be to break the law. Can the law compel someone to break the law?
