I'm sorry, cutting undersea cables is not terrorism.
Anything can be terrorism if it is politically beneficial. This is 2024, after all.

#14Authorities of whom, the tweet is lacking a source or even information about the accident. Not to mention jumping to a terrorism case without any other details.
I don't know how this is on front page.

Terrorism[1] is committing crime for political purposes, rather then for personal gain, and this definition is well recognized.
Terrorism has never been exclusively categorized as mass casualty attacks (and that's a relatively recent phenomenon, compared to the 70s and 80s with hijackings).

Why are you bullshitting people? Straight from your referenced link:
"The calculated use of violence or threat of violence to inculcate fear. Terrorism is intended to coerce or intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological."

No.
Terrorism is when people use terror for political purposes. While it is often synonymous with crime, the "terror" part is rather critical. Most often, the terror is over the target's personal safety, or that of the target's loved ones.
Having an undersea cable cut does not terrify a sane person without extenuating circumstances. Therefore it may be an act of war, but it is not terrorism in the slightest.
Redefining "terrorism" for the purposes of treating lesser criminals under harsh terrorism laws is unethical, immoral, unjust, and downright awful.

Yep. This is vandalism, not terrorism.

It's categorically terrorism by that definition.
Objectively intended to coerce or intimidate governments: do as you're told if you want to have a viable economy, because so much of today's economy relies on communication.

Another BS.
You are forgetting "violence" in that definition. Bar that any attempt to influence government is a terrorism.
