I've often wondered whether or not a sufficiently well worded warrant could require that the warrant canary remains published unchanged, rendering the warrant canary useless.

The idea behind the canaries is that they expire, and that one cannot legally force someone to sign false statements. So if no new canary is published when the old one expires, that's a red flag.

Please. A receipt for a $10 wrench and any IT guy will crumble.
That wouldn’t even be illegal, since they never hit you with a wrench - you just imagined they were about to go xkcd on you
