Simultaneously finding collisions in multiple hash algorithms with 2 random inputs would be a hard task, and if one of those inputs is predetermined (your data), and the other needs to include a change that the attacker wants to see there?

Nazis were chanting along the same lines against Jews. I don't want to believe you really mean what you are saying. Spreading hate on the internet is much removed from really wanting to kill humans and that's also much removed fro
