Could add more adjectives and nouns, but it is not terrorism. It steps on true victims of terrorism to call it "terrorism".

In person, it would be a "disturbing the peace" violation or possibly assault if anyone feared for life or limb. Online it might rise to psychological assault. There could be conspiracy involved.

Certainly hate crimes could be charged.

The software needs to provide more controls to hosts.

The Zoom company needs to be more proactive about blocking IP addresses. Yes, sophisticated bombers can shift IP addresses, but most "low-stakes" disruptors can't be bothered or haven't figured it out. There are other countermeasures the company could provide if they weren't lazy. The company needs to be called out and forced to step up.
