As stated I like the phrasing OP used. You are free to use another phrasing. What I’m not going to do is get into a debate on how to precisely define the terms used. One can nitpick any phrasing of any law/regulation. That’s why there are lawyers in every society. But I’m not engaged in a legal discussion at this time. If you don’t like OP’s wording then don’t use it.

I’m arguing the principles of “is this speech virtuous” as a prerequisite vs “is this speech harmful” as a disqualifier - not the exact definition. Whatever virtue test you use for the speech, it can be more easily abused than a harmfulness test.
Why are you making such an argument? This is a rhetorical question I don’t actually care what the answer is. It’s fascinating you feel the need to chime in about this when all I did is like someone’s way of stating things. No one cares about the pedantic nitpicking you are engaged with. Well, no one should care.
