“Terrorism” has a wide meaning, as in any action that may instill fear in some target.
Texting your ex that “I’m at your address with a knife with your name on it”, is condidered terrorism. Shooting your neighbor’s dog as a “message” to your neighbor, is considered terrorism. Murdering a CEO with a message to other CEOs and anyone working in an entire industry, is considered terrorism.
If BLM people played their cards right, they probably could sue many instances of racial profiling for terrorism.

I don’t think it is in any sane country. IANAL though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IANAL, I’ve been watching streams from Judge Fleischer (Houston, Texas, USA), there have been some cases in the recent days where repeatedly texting a victim with life threats, or even texting a victim’s friend to pass on a threat to the victim, have been considered a “terrorist threat”.
As for the “sane country” part… 🤷… but from a strictly technical point of view, I think it makes sense.
