Coal miners back in the day would take a canary (small bird) into the mines with them. If the canary died, they knew to evacuate due to gas build up displacing oxygen.
Website will sometimes have a "canary". If the "canary" is removed, it means the government has asked for information about users and they legally must comply. Basically saying the website is now working with law enforcement.
What's a canary.

Thanks! That's pretty smart. Basically have an image on the side, and if it's removed they can get the news out.
