Indefinite gag orders are definitely unconstitutional, and it has been proven before in Court. There should be an automatic limit as well for when the gag orders expire, like say 1-3 months, or whatever is considered "reasonable" for an investigation. After that, the government should have to get extensions every 3 months from a judge. After 2 or 3 years, the extension should be obtained only from a federal judge.

And it goes without saying that the gag orders should only be given in very specific scenarios, not for all data requests, or anytime the government wants to give one.

It would be a pipe dream, but at the conclusion of the gag period there should additionally be a disclosure requirement - like a data breach notification. That would help balance out the desire to keep these things under wraps.

Any gag order would be unconstitutional. One may explain their expected consequences of saying a particular thing, but another always has a right to speak whatever they want.
