What is a Warrant Canary?
Many service providers are forbidden from revealing to their users that they have been served with a secret government subpoena. A warrant canary is a colloquial term for a regularly published statement that a service provider has not received such a subpoena. If the canary is not updated in a timely manner, or if it is removed, the absence of the statement implies that the provider has received such a secret subpoena.
