[QUOTE="Beholder, post: 240376, member: 14640"] [URL="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/10/11/russia-adds-meta-to-list-of-terrorist-and-extremist-groups"]Russia adds Meta to list of ‘terrorist and extremist’ groups[/URL] The term is often used to supress dissent in both east and west, but the definition of terrorism is when a non-state actor provokes fear in a population using violence and intimidation. Armies are excluded, because old military tradition wants a black and white separation between the just empire and the wild pagans (might makes right). This worked when the underdogs could always be silenced by pro-empire news editors, but falls apart as double standards when you consider all warcrimes to be terrorism no matter who does the terror. Russia certainly uses violence against civilians for no other reason than to spread fear, but technically one can't call Russia terrorists by the old definition, while also recognizing Kremlin as Russia's official military leadership. Russia called the bridge attack both terrorism (non-government) and an act of war (government), which now becomes a direct contradiction. The separation between war and murder has become pointless when nobody officially declares war, but if further dilluted, the word might end up as slang for mean people in general. Meta did infringe on free speech by campaigning against net neutrality, but being a member on Facebook hardly makes you a member of a terror group, because that's like saying that all humans are terrorists for using the same internet.
