The definition of harassment is so vague as to be useless, as are the penalties.

Often, that's the point of rules from the perspective of administrations. They give you enforcement ability and space to operate as you see fit while sharply limiting the ability of people to contest.

Taken to extremes, you get authoritarian nations where the law is whatever the current strongman says it is. In practice, you either wind up setting up pseudo-legal-systems that don't really satisfy users while being very inefficient or you rely on administration internal self-enforcement. Neither works perfectly.
