If "privacy friendly" or "secure" were regulated terms most linux distros would have been sued/fined into bankruptcy for deceptive marketing.
Kinda think this would be entirely dependent on the imaginary regulations, so comments like this are essentially nonsense.
Just look at the bastardisation of current regulated terms
There are regulations, they are either inadequate or aren't being applied to products or services used by regular consumers. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11062200
Also which terms? You can't call yourself an MD, RN or an Attorney etc in US and many other countries if you aren't one. You can't market drugs that haven't been approved by the FDA. Also bastardisation isn't a justification for no regulation.
