It would be a pipe dream, but at the conclusion of the gag period there should additionally be a disclosure requirement - like a data breach notification. That would help balance out the desire to keep these things under wraps.

Any gag order would be unconstitutional. One may explain their expected consequences of saying a particular thing, but another always has a right to speak whatever they want.
And it goes without saying that the gag orders should only be given in very specific scenarios, not for all data requests, or anytime the government wants to give one.
