Compelled speach IS a thing. You can be compelled to lie and issue a warrant canary post.

Yes, as is said at the bottom.

Honestly, I think it’s a lot more complicated than that. Yes it’s possible that someone could be compelled to update a warrant canary, but it’s infinitely more likely that they’re simply coerced, like their lawyer tells them to.

EFFs Canary Watch project found that warrant canaries were a flawed principle for a number of other reasons.

Regardless, it remains mildly interesting.
