I always kind of assumed that they worded it in such a way to prevent you from indicating it in any way, specifically to avoid this loophole. They're not stupid, after all. But like the article says, forcing you to lie might get a bit tricky, legally speaking. Anyway, assuming this is possible, how would one for each user work? You (an admin) simply click a button every day that updates the timestamp on all profiles, excepting the ones you were contacted about? At this point, it might help raise the profile of both the tactic and the site a bit. Could be interesting to watch how the policy develops across other sites and institutions.
It might work like that. Still, I wonder if it is illegal for me to tell you that no government agency has requested information about you from us. That much is true.At this point, it might help raise the profile of both the tactic and the site a bit. Could be interesting to watch how the policy develops across other sites and institutions.
I wonder how they would make it illegal? It's a truthful statement, it's not harming American national security, it's not slander and isn't inciting panic. ...I might still want to talk to a lawyer first though. It would suck to have the site shut down over something like that.
