Legal classification is very often qualitative (see: obscenity laws). Not everything in life can be boiled down to metrics.


It still has to be supported with logic and precedent. You could compare the action to the action of others like Facebook using metrics. If something is entirely subjective, then you would violate equal protection when one person is guilty and another is not, just based on the judge who heard it.


Where does legal classification even enter this conversation?
