Can you cite how it's not legally terrorism?
- toast0 2y agoI'm not familiar with all the laws against terrorism, but let's go with this one [1]? It's not international terrorism (1), because it meets clause A, but not B or C. It's not domestic terrorism (5), because it meets clause A and C, but not B. Clause B is the same for both > B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; Ransomware doesn't appear to be intended to do any of those things to me. Do you have a reference that says this is terrorism? [1] https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331
