Soon people will be making up ridiculous code words to make spying harder.

"Mom, I wanna go to that spicy food restaurant because I heard their chefs are very good"

"Okay honey, I am available at 6PM, we can go there together."

Spicy food restaurant = Abortion clinic

Chef = Medical professionals

3 hours are added the time so the time is actually 3PM

Of course, end to end encryption is still the best, but adding code words can provide plausible deniability in case the phone is seized.

That doesn't really help you if you have your phone with you that tracks your location and can be corelated to the messages sent.

Oh no worries, I'm gonna open both a spicy food restaurant and an abortion clinic at the same location. Double the income!

But seriously tho, maybe we need Graphene OS on airplane mode. Anyone know how to train pigeons?

If they have to use code words they're not going to be getting care in their state, not legally anyway. That's part of how they can even be charged with something.
