Answer 1

The USA Patriot Act is a Federal law that provides a definition of the term cyberterrorism and under which young people primarily involved in what they consider to be minor computer pranks have been tried as cyberterrorists.

Step-by-step explanation:

• USA Patriot Act is an acronym for: “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism,”

• USA Patriot Act is a anti-terror measure taken just after 9-11 incident to avoid terror attacks in United States.
• It grants law enforcement agencies a great power to investigate about terrorists and bring them into justice.
• Breaking down USA Patriot Act is figured as a crime and leads to investigative tools designed for organized crime.
