When I read this, it clicked that the problem wasn't in the hashes - they produce random output. The problem was with the idea that the appearance of random numbers could be construed as meaningful, based on associating them with criticism or being problematized by the people who made the rules against insulting the royalty.
When you imagine those people going through every available media and looking for insults against the royalty, and finding one way or another to interpret it that way so they could crack down on the writers - how insane they must have been, or worse malicious, and sometimes just sadistic.
If I were to offer some advice based on it, I would suggest that if you think a hash can be problematic, to reflect seriously on where the problem may lie.
