Wasn't there an article or a post somewhere about an ISP that
maintained a canary web page with the statement "we haven't been
served with an NSL" and (I think) a date that was meant to be taken
down or perhaps merely not updated in such an event?

Cute idea, though I suppose they would also be subject to sanctions
for not maintaining it.

Guardster Team has posted its response on 21st Dec to Cryptome:

"We can assure you that we do not cooperate with the NSA or any other
government agency anywhere in the world. We invite whomever is making this
statement to provide proof, rather than making a baseless accusation.

Note that if they had been served with an NSL (National Security Letter),
they may be legally *required* to lie about it while cooperating.  Actually
truthfully saying "Yeah, an NSL showed up and we complied" could land them
in jail....
