Survivalmonkey.com Warrant Canary (warrant_canary.txt) Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act, etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as library records. Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant, search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would materially affect the users of a service such as Survivalmonkey.com. Survivalmonkey.com and its principals will in fact comply with such warrants and their provisions for secrecy. Survivalmonkey.com will also make available, monthly (+/- a week), a "warrant canary" in the form of a cryptographically signed message containing the following: - - a declaration that, up to that point, no warrants have been served, nor have any searches or seizures taken place - - a cut and paste headline(s) from a major news source, establishing date ################## ##### Special note should be taken if these messages ever cease being updated, or are removed from this page. ################## The current message is here: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 2018-04-09 This will be the final SM warrant Canary update - it's no longer needed and I've been remiss in keeping it current No warrants have ever been served to Survivalmonkey.com, or Survivalmonkey.com principals.

Although signing the declaration makes it impossible for a third party to produce arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force to coerce Survivalmonkey.com to produce false declarations. The news clip in the signed message serves to demonstrate that that update could not have been created prior to that date. It shows that a series of these updates were not created in advance and posted on this page. This warrant canary was partially borrowed from rsync.net's canary: https://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/canary.txt Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
