For no particular reason, I'm imagining a secret code one could use to conceal news that would normally get filtered. Something more subtle than "There's totally NOT a global pandemic right now. Grandma is totally NOT dead. Wink wink."

I’d guess people wouldn’t want this news. At least in the abstract, the policy isn’t absurd.
The test for Huntington’s (a genetic disease that is 100% fatal and usually starts in your 30s or 40s) might be a good analogue. You’d think everyone would want to know (50% chance if one your parents has it). But IIRC, less than 50% get the test.
