Courts can't compel you not to talk. They can merely punish you after-the-fact.

So if you're talking about "everyone in a giant group of people" and doing it routinely, existence of those secret subpoenas seem like they'd get leaked eventually. Especially if it's hard to tell which of the 300 people leaked it.

Any of these TLAs will love figuring out who leaked it, and it usually isn’t hard.

And knowing this, the jail time or personal life destruction that would almost inevitably occur isn’t worth it for almost anyone.
