Glossia
Warrant canary
Renewed every quarter since July 2013. This statement was made on Oct 1, 2026.
What this is
Some legal orders forbid the people who receive them from saying so. They cannot, in most places, force anyone to say something false. So every quarter we say what has not happened. If a sentence ever disappears from this page, or the page stops being renewed, it no longer holds.
