Huh, the government seems to have tools to make companies comply. Strange.

As the others explained, it's mainly statistics regarding usage of specific words. This also means anyone can make a tool that uses a thesaurus to mess with the watermark (these are already available online - they have the disclaimer that they can't guarantee that it works every time tho), and short texts might not provide enough data for the watermark to be reliably identified at all.
