Your reminder that a certain section of the HB code of conduct hasn't been updated in almost 4 months.
An alarm that is not maintained is worse than useless because it gives a false sense of security. An alarm that is too late is also dangerous. After the domain expiration debacle you'd think HB admins would be more competent so the rational thing to assume is it hasn't been updated because it can't be updated without lying. The proper thing is to assume the worst. With NSPM-7 it would be easy to get the order through.
You are welcome for this warning before you say things that may cause you criminal liability.

What
The warrant canary hasn't been refreshed in a few months
The whole premise of a warrant canary is you cannot force speech. Therefore the alarm portion of it goes off through not being updated and users noticing. If it's not updated regularly then users have no way of knowing at what point they should be concerned.
Therefore the only way to operate such a canary is with scheduled, regular, expected updates.
At what point will hexbears be alarmed? 6 months? 12 months? At what point does it go off? That's a real question to have about any alarm but this type especially.
In a time of war with all that's going on that question becomes more important given the anger many are expressing here and the danger they'd be in potentially.
Oh interesting
