Long ago, Apple included a warrant canary in their transparency report. One day, it disappeared. Nothing came of it.

The problem with a warrant canary is there's too much doubt about why it disappeared. Did they actually receive a warrant, or is it just a decision from corporate to discontinue the practice?

A decision from corporate to discontinue is also a signal.
There can be some doubt, but too much?
> why it disappeared

The result is the same.
