The term ‘Freedom Fighter’ has been used to identify people who are honestly fighting against tyranny being perpetrated on or against the liberty of others, and it has been used to identify people who are terrorizing others in order to benefit materially.

I have not notice the latter usage. I think the term is pretty well understood to be an insurgent against an autocratic government or outside occupier. If you run across an example of the latter usage, I'd be interested in seeing it.
