What good is a warrant canary if it's also used for whimsy or commercial speech? If they don't take it seriously enough for people know what it means then their system isn't worth using to start with.

A Twitter feed is not a warrant canary.

Edit: the exact link to the official warrant canary is specified in the top post, please don't answer if you haven't recognized that much:

The "If they're relying on double entendres then it might as well be" as a response to "A Twitter feed is not a warrant canary" really has no sense.
