NEXT SIGNING
This canary is renewed every Monday. The next signing is scheduled for

A warrant canary is not a cryptographic proof of anything positive — it is a ritual of negative disclosure. In jurisdictions where a legal order can compel a provider not to speak about the order itself, the order cannot compel the provider to continue to publish a signed statement that the order has not occurred. The absence of the expected signature therefore communicates information that the issuing authority cannot lawfully block.
Our canary is renewed every Monday. If the W22-2026 signing is not followed by a 2026-06-01 signing (or a same-week infrastructure-incident post-mortem on /status that explains the delay), the reasonable inference after 2026-06-08 is that BitVPS Ltd has received a category of order described above and has been compelled to remain silent about it. You should then migrate away, rotate credentials, and treat our infrastructure as hostile until the canary returns with a fresh post-mortem.
This document is governed by the Terms of Service and the operational policies at /privacy, /abuse, and /dmca. It is not legal advice; it is an operational signal.
Comment fonctionne le canari, comment le vérifier, ce que signifie une signature manquante et quelles juridictions il couvre.
gpg --import, confirm the fingerprint matches the one published on this page, then run gpg --verify canary.asc against the clearsigned text above. The output must contain “Good signature” and the matching fingerprint — anything else means the canary is invalid.
