After almost a week of direct questioning, canary is still not updated:

Certificate fingerprints deleted for certain domains on Oct. 22nd without notice:

Speaking for myself, this was brought to my attention in the context of a developing story about WikiLeaks being under duress or Julian Assange missing, who has not sent direct communication let alone signed communication for around a month now.

Imagine if your office live-broadcasted nearly everything. From the corridors, reception area, to the opening of physical mail. The PR and generally more "public" email addresses could be transparent as well.

This means when the NSL arrives, it will be seen by the world.

Okay, that's telling, but the canary on its own seems to be valid still - it's from August 16, 2016, and they say it should be 'updated approximately once per quarter'
