"Did you receive an NSL?"

You have been compel to lie, by the government, to answer "NO" if you've received one.

If you can be compelled to lie that you have received an NSL then I do not see why you can't be forced to lie more.

We already compelled speech, why not more?

I thought that you could simply not answer the NSL question (hence warrant canaries)

Iirc that's only in theory. I don't think there has been any precedent set. But I always see people say that a warrant canary is a false sense of security.
