Terrorism is loosely defined as actions by an individual or organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

That's the stupidest definition of terrorism I have ever seen.
You could call pretty much ANYTHING slightly subversive terrorism
under this definition.
Movements for social change? Terrorism.
Peaceful demonstrations against government policy? Terrorism.
Any sort of activism? Terrorism.
I stand by my opinion: calling whistle-blowing
terrorism is a ridiculous appeal to emotion, and anyone who even dares
to attempt it should be laughed out of the building.
