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?
I believe the capital cloak can uncloak people in a 9k radius. That is, if I'm correct here, also the radius of other people hearing a cloaked ship. To be fair, the smaller versions are really a joke, however AWACs carriers/battleships are a thing, if you don't stay still all the time. That paired with cargo scanners instead of deep scanners would ensure not every bypasser can listen to your talks. However, you can just group up or greenchat things, now that we know that the sanction was not about grouping for talks but for grouping for fights.
