From what I've read the legal department at reddit isn't really sure
whether it violated the law by killing it's canary.

Do we know for sure that Reddit deleted the canary because something happened that killed the canary, rather than because their legal department decided that the canary was possibly not legal in the first place? One would think they would simply say that's why they did it if that were the case, but the fact that they didn't say that is the only evidence I'm aware of that it's NOT because they decided it was illegal.
