I was thinking about things like spam and also social media.
Note that my main objection is to equating a person doing something with an automated process. Sometimes it may be legal or other times illegal but it just clearly isn’t the same.
For the last point, I think the answer to that is a definite no in most jurisdictions. Laws and judicial conventions often allow differing circumstances to affect the legality of things.

Laws and judicial conventions often allow differing circumstances to affect the legality of things. Curious, any concrete examples? I can't really think of any where one instance is okay but many is not. I can think of examples where one instance is ignored and many instances are harder to ignore (and so is prosecuted), but overall - I can't really think of anything that is okay to do once but not many times.
