Names for software 101:
- Word so common it's impossible to search it online when you got an issue
- Write a phrase describing the software then take the first letter of each word to hopefully get a decent name out of it :)

imagine loving running a torture center so hard that you actively work against people who might undermine you and introduce human rights protections.
