You've just been added to the "List".

I work for 2600hz, which is literally the number 1 keyword on the CyberTerrorism watch list. I guarantee I'm already on every list.
I think you're making a good assumption. I think any one of us who "fits the profile" can assume that they're on a list.

I think I use a lot of those words every day. It's hilarious to me that 2600 and Phreaking are both on there when they haven't been a serious threat since the 5ESS switches hit back in the 70's and 80's...

That list also contains "Social media", so I think it's fair to say it's an irrelevant list that flags everyone in the world.
I can't imagine they will ever take stuff off the list.

The funnier thing to do would be for people who are likely on the list to begin using language the way the political class do.
