>>> What concerns me in these responses from Microsoft is the distortion of the term lawful This seems really important to me. I grew up in a totalitarian regime and this kind of re-defining common language was one of the most powerful tools the regime could use to retain power and keep people in constant fear. For example the crime of 'disruption of public order' could be used to put basically anybody to jail because the term would be twisted to fit any behaviour that the regime did not like - for example when you criticised some official or communist party member or complained about something publicly. Actually I believe that ability of the government or any other group of people to redefine common language and inability of people to force government to use their version of language means that the power distribution in society is seriously skewed and therefore is a strong sign of failing democracy. It's really scary to observe that in the US.
