-----END VEXTRAQ CANARY-----What is a warrant canary?
A warrant canary is a method by which a service provider informs users that it has not been served with a secret government subpoena. If the canary disappears or stops updating, it signals that a gag order may have been issued, since the provider would be legally prohibited from directly disclosing such an order.
