If you omit the long middle part, the true meaning of this canary is clear: "we have HAD 0 (zero).... to the date of the last posting/updating of this notification". Since the last canary update, there has probably been a gag order, National Security Request, FISA order, injunction, etc. Very concerning.

Can you explain this canary in lamen terms? It's really starting to make me feel stupid.
Sanegoati tried explaining it. I'm familiar with canary in the coal mine metaphor. How is this post protecting future posts?

sanegoat's fine.
if they gag our admins, we can never know.
so the admins always keep posting this
they can't be made to lie to us, so if they get gagged, the couldn't click the update anymore, cause that would be lying to us (gag's can compel you not to speak truth, but not to lie)
thus telling us without telling us there's been a gag.

I'm considering this...maybe for a long time. Who'd emit the gag order?

Government?
