Instead of creating noise, one should fix the problem of sending out

Enigma for Thunderbird. Encrypt IM conversations with OTR, and via
other ways pro-actively protect ones own privacy. That is a real
structural solution. Don't blame others for not using an envelope around
your own communication.

Actually, that's not really part of the issue. The logs don't contain context, just who/where/when. While encryption will prevent (one hopes) the capability of recovering context, who you talked to is not kept private or otherwise secret.
