Questions remain about the status of encrypted email and messaging service Riseup.net after several users this week noticed that the service's warrant canary had apparently expired.

Discussions on both Hacker News and Reddit have led some to believe that the service, which is popular with activists and journalists, has been served with a secret surveillance order, because its warrant canary -- issued quarterly -- had not been updated before the three-month deadline.
