    What if… group owner can post messages with different versions? So for random group A they see one version and random group B they see a different version. If the owner does this periodically, they can quickly find out who leaked the history based on binary search.

      Some corporations do this with product releases. If misinformation leaks, they can narrow it down. Moreover, since no one knows for sure their info is genuine, they’re less likely to leak. It’s usually trivial things that won’t impact performance but sometimes stuff like video game endings and stuff, lol.
