If a new law targets “terrorism” in any way, the actual goal of that law to to oppress someone.
Examples:
loads of laws worldwide that expand snooping powers over normal citizens.
loads of laws everywhere to curb financing “terrorism” and “crime”.
loads of laws in many country allowing to detain people without or with greatly reduced due process.
Amazingly, those laws never manage to reduce terrorism in a noticeable way. But although they could be used for these purposes, they somehow also completely fail to engage with corruption, tax evasion and money laundering done by the rich and influential. They still set up anonymous foundations who own their mega-villas and yachts, they still set up companies in tax heavens to avoid paying their dues in their homeland.
