ok - now define 'harass', and also tell me who gets to decide what is 'harassment' is and isn't - that is the crux of the problem.

Disagreeing with a stated position of a government official - loudly and strongly - is not harassment.

OK, but suppose you're a public official and I just keep leaving slurs on your timeline, perhaps even by automated means.

I don't disagree, but I don't see any solution that can fairly define what is harassment and what isn't - it is clearly in the eye of the beholder - and without a doubt, if a govt official can simply declare something harassment in order to censor it, you can be 100% sure, all of a sudden every criticism will be labeled harassment.
