This is indeed terrible, but do you imply that everything Ukraine does now is fair game because of it? Would you also cheer them on if they openly used chemical weapons, tortured POW's, and terrorized Russian citizens and nationals?
Russia invaded their country. As far as I'm concerned anything they do is fair game until every Russian soldier is off their land.
I'm not an expert on international law or human rights, but I think posting fake gas prices and " used chemical weapons, tortured POW's, and terrorized Russian citizens and nationals" are in slightly different categories.
Of course bad faith arguments usually don't hold water...
Are they?
Only the magnitude is (and yes, a lot) different, but category is very much the same.
Yes they are. Read the full snippet, not just the highlighted bit. The "Its primary intent is [...] To further a terrorist group organization's objectives"
God you're dumb. You're almost cyber terrorizing Lemmy!
No you.
Do I instill fear, panic, or physical disruption of your critical infrastructure?
What's your point? How does that absolve the action out of this definition. Speak it out.
Is a website that collects crowdsorced gas prices critical infrastructure? It feels that you trolling and they trolling of just... Trolling. It's not even hacking! Are review bombs on steam or google maps cyber terrorism?
My point is that you can't cherry pick a few words from a definition and call it a day. Same as you can't try to deviate from your original comparison that posting fake gas prices is like torture.
I'm going to walk back the dumb comment. You're smart enough to see when you're saying dumb things and to try to spin to a different direction. Just not smart enough to realize you said something dumb until after you post it.
Although is you need me to spell it out further, I might have to walk back my walk back :)
It can be. I won't post anymore AI slop screenshots, but I'm sure you are grown up enough to be able to type "review bomb legal" into your search engine of choice and find for yourself.
...my fucking messages
R3?
Please keep posting AI, it at least gives an excuse for being slop.
Good luck finding gas. I'll try to "terrorize" you with some fake prices. You can in return cyber terrorize me with downvotes or silly trolling attempts.
Edited map does not really create fear or disruption of critical infrastructure, and I'm not sure about panic either
