"watchlist" seems to be an altogether incorrect term for this in the first place. I guess they probably didn't want to use the term "blacklist" but I'm not sure what the correct term should now be. Watchlist evokes the meaning "this person is being watched by [authorities]" Edit: The BBC article (linked here in comments) did in fact use the term "blacklist". GIFCT calls it a "hash-sharing database". The use of "terror watchlist" by NY Post seems to be more clickbait rather than accuracy driven. (Not that this issue isn't pretty terrible).
