This is why "canaries" are used on certain websites. If they are ever forced, under threat of imprisonment, to comply with certain agencies, they stop posting certain signed updates that say things like "We have received no such requests from law enforcement today". No updates - they've been compromised and are unable to talk about such things.
Just saying, but the idea that this would fly in front of a judge is laughable.
If you are forbidden from telling people something happened, you are not to let them know that it happened. It doesn't matter whether you tell them directly or indirectly, by starting or stopping sending out messages, turning the light on or off, whatever. If they learn about it thanks to you, you're in for it.
