There is so much potential in renting a Anti-Cloak-capital for secret meetings. You even can configure yourself how far your talking range should be, by selecting a smaller scanner. The range of your own sentences is just as far as your scanner range goes, so even if the cloaked ship is 15k away and has battleship scanners, they can't listen to you.
If you want to conspire, do it right and don't blame other people for, well, having prepared to shadow someone.
Edit: And don't come with "Sure, I invest in anti-cloak-things for one thing" - people also have to invest into cloaks. Some of them even into better cloaks, be it a faction perk or an SRP.
Maybe they changed but my experience when I tried them was that cloak disruptors are quite useless because the cloaked person must behave totally stupid and come close to you and there is no reason to do it when you just want listen to someone´s talk. What are current ranges?

Just for the record, in Sovereign House Space systems it is, just in all others isn´t.
