Courts absolutely can and do compel companies to maintain warrant canaries.

Fraud? Fraud against who? For what damages?

Can you please cite one example of a court compelling the maintenance of a warrant canary?

Fraud against paying customers, if they can demonstrate they wouldn't have paid if the company didn't lie. Also competitors if they can demonstrate they lost business due to the lie.
