Is the purpose to cause harm to the individual? That is the common question behind anti harrassment laws. Even if a person has a legit grievance, intent to cause physical or psychological harm is still illegal.
If it is difficult to separate that question for someone who has political abhorrent views, imagine a neighbor who acts abhorrent. Their dog is barking all the time, leaves dog shits on your lawn, their car is blocking you, they play loud music late at night, and so on. Are you allowed to call their employer and try get them fired for being an awful person? If the answer is no because that would be harassment then the answer doesn't change when their abhorrent behavior is political rather than being an abhorrent neighbor.
- monocasa 6y agoI'd imagine if you called their employer to tell them your examples, the employer would laugh in your face. There's a difference between 'their dog barks too much' and 'they're marching through the streets advocating for genocide'.
