How about the reverse? As the point of canaries is to let people know a
warrant is in place while thinking that you're not breaking any laws by
telling them (good luck), hypothetically why not just be up front and
tell people that a warrant is in place via a tor and a hidden service
(let's call it WarrantWatch). Each post is a message from an admin of a
website saying that a warrant is in place, with the message being signed
via the website's TLS private key for verification.
