The other half is that the canary is broad, and doesn't specify which government or agency made the request / gag order.

The "I didn't really talk about it, I just didn't NOT say I WASN'T talking about it" thing feels like a flimsy technicality. I think what's really protecting these canaries is that they're non-specific and one-time-only.

I don't think we're going to see many "I have not been gagged by the CIA on April 25, 2024" canaries going around, even though that technically uses the same loophole.
