>if you have a gag order and you remove the canary any judge will treat it as if you broke the order
see that's exactly what I figured! like surely the gag order is not so specific as to *not* encompass that. it's just about communicating that info, in *any* way
@pareinoia perhaps, but it would be rather incompetent of a case officer to not be aware of such a canary, if it was displayed prominently enough for users to be aware
@pee_zombie I mean I'm guessing it could've worked *way* back in the day, but it'd have to be before the knowledge of warrant canaries was widespread, and without the feds or judge knowing you have one or where it is
