"Warrant canaries rely upon the legal theory of compelled speech.
Compelled speech happens when a person is forced by the government to make
expressive statements they do not want to make. Fortunately, the First
Amendment protects against compelled speech in most circumstances. In
fact, we’re not aware of any case where a court has upheld compelled false
speech. Thus, a service provider could argue that, when its statement
about the legal process received is no longer true, it cannot be compelled
to reissue the now false statement, and can, instead, remain silent. So
far, no court has addressed this issue."
