They could put a tiny truth ministry module in the app and remain e2e:

"I'll be on my way home in five minutes!" [send]

"Sorry, our algorithms have detected that you were about to spread misinformation. Please contact support to reactivate your account. Premium support is available to subscribers of our membership programme"

I'm actually only half joking: while some local library code surely cannot tell truth from lies, that problem remains just as unsolved for arbitrary amounts of central effort. There's a reason truth ministries are a Bad Idea.

Hey, the way GPT(-2, -3, ...)s are going, maybe soon we can have an offline classifier of truth. /s.
