@riseupnet Given mass concern, could you just plainly state you haven't received any government requests or demands instead of vagueness?

@webster @riseupnet They may have a gag order against them, preventing them from discussing the issue plainly.

@joshuagross I think they're just being carelessly nebulous, but if they don't clear up the canary issue, we'll have to assume that, yeah.

@webster I’ve personally interacted with riseup techs on multiple occasions, careless is not an adjective I’d use to describe them.

@MutualArising I agree as it relates to sysadmining and security principles. Not sure about comms/PR. See e.g.https://twitter.com/flanvel/status/765349637377126400 …

@riseupnet lack of a simple answer suggests gagging order and forced to leave servers running as part of the NSL. #riseup #WarrantCanary

@riseupnet This is a confusing statement considering you haven’t updated the canary but you are obviously responding on twitter.

@riseupnet If you can’t speak plainly best let silence speak, otherwise update the canary!

@MutualArising @riseupnet The whole point is they continue to make statements showing its not general radio silence, just about one topic.

@riseupnet So, under a gag order, but not to the point of your clients being "under surveillance", forcing a pulling of the plug?

@fretfriendly @riseupnet Authorities may have crafted a special warrant that denies them the ability to pull the plug.
