Defined as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience” according to US law.

It is an increasingly common aspect of commercially-controlled media reports in the 21st century, particularly since 9/11.

These laws often related to mass surveillance or otherwise infringe on civil liberties.1
