Canary as in warrant carany? The usefulness of such thing is questionable anyway, especially because not updating or removing it after receiving subpoena may violate law on some country.
That's exactly what a canary is supposed to be for.
If law enforcement's already nabbed you then you
can't update it anyway, since you'll no longer have access to the hardware.
(not that this has anything to do with my previous reply from an hour ago)
That's mostly true, unless government have access to your website and key to sign warrant canary. But being nabbed and received subpoena are two different thing.

I always assumed the warrant canary works because no law can force you to post something online, and even if they could, it's going to take longer than the time it takes your canary to expire.
