Serious question, what's to stop the NSL including language along the lines: 'Any warrant canaries need to remain in place'?


There's a significant legal difference between compelled speech and compelled silence. The latter is easier than the former.


An NSL can't just make stuff up. Everything in it must be specifically authorized by congress or a court.


The All Writs Act means that's not much of a bar.


Technically, they remained in place here too. Warrant canary is still in 2014 report. What they did is they did not repeat it in 2015 report.
