Just a note on the widespread use of #euphemisms in media messaging:

When #dictatorships talk about "security forces" or "national security" it is invariably about the regime's own need to secure its hold on power by keeping the subjects down.

I'm not sure I understand why they're so popular. Out of politeness to the dictators? To avoid harming... business links?
