What is the language around the non-disclosure order? There seems to be speculation that a warrant canary would be construed the same as a disclosure, but are you required to not inform the concerned party, or required to not disclose law enforcement contacting you at all?

From a practical perspective I don't imagine that cloudflare removing a canary could give any one organization a signal - I don't know what the bar for a 'disclosure' is but informally I would not consider it a targeted specific warning.

EDIT: the other component I am curious about is duration, there is still utility in the canary even if it comes late, future users will know that there was a compromise and that further ones are likely, right?
