Very good point.VirOath said:Let's wait until after April 1st to see if this is still up. April 1st is the worst day to publish legitimate news.
What I have come away with here is that the concept of inserting a "canary" like this into legal documentation is an interesting idea and sounds well = worth having.
That is, unless it transpires that it is vulnerable to the organisation being instructed to keep the dead "canary" effectively nailed to the perch by a legal order requiring their cooperation to the point of lying in the publicly available iteration of the documentation while protected by the real version sealed for the duration of said instruction.
My understanding of the intricacies of international law and the various national security exemptions is too shallow to know if that would be a legal move by any group.
