A coordinated online campaign has reportedly encouraged users to alter fuel station information on digital maps across Russia, creating confusion among drivers.

The activity involves changing station statuses by marking locations with available fuel as empty or showing closed stations as operational.

Supporters of the campaign claim the effort is designed to disrupt travel decisions, increase uncertainty, and create additional pressure around fuel availability.

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!

    God you’re dumb

    No you.

    You’re almost cyber terrorizing Lemmy!

    Do I instill fear, panic, or physical disruption of your critical infrastructure?

    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”

    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.

    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.
