Even if true, that's a totally subjective standard that can't be applied consistently. One person's "political speech" is another person's "troll."


By that reasoning, this Judge’s ruling must be totally subjective.

That case isn't about "trolling," it's about causing physical harm to someone through electronic means. It's more equivalent to electronic warfare. I don't equate trolling (which is annoying, and irritating) with electronic warfare (which could literally kill you).

And if it isn't subjective, then what is the objective measure that you use to determine if something is "trolling" or not?
