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.

    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.

That much is true.

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.

Yes, it would. Even so, I am sure it wouldn't be too difficult to find lawyers that disagree with each other on the matter.
