Given what happened to @Dr. Evil at the hands of the Gestapo of free speech that runs this state, it is really an oversight we do not have a warrant canary for NYGF setup. So, for that reason, I'm adding this question / thread under "law."
Basically, if NYGF would come under any sort of investigation, they could not disclose the investigation because of the court order. But a warrant canary is a blanket statement that exists previous to such an order stating there has never been such an order issued to the site as of the current date (which, is true before an order is issued.) Once an order is issued, the canary is removed. Thus, there is the implication, not direct disclosure, the site is under investigation while following the letter of the court order.
(Also, I'm not a lawyer, so I'd check on the legality of adding one to NYGF. My understanding is they are legal to have.)
