Why does Adobe have a forgery option in its photo editor

I was trying to use adobe express (wrong forum, but the express forum was not loading for me) and came across this odd result. 

Has anyone seen this before?

Seems strange. Might be hacked

    Hi ​@photoflyy,

     

    Nothing to worry about here - as ​@Glenn 8675309 mentioned, "forgery" is simply a stock photo subject tag, so when you search for it you'll see images related to that theme (think crime dramas, legal concepts, news imagery, etc.). It's no different from searching "fire" or "crime" and getting relevant stock photos.

     

    Definitely not hacked - just the stock library doing its job! Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Nothing strange about it.   thousands (over 18,000) of photos with that subject tag.
