I read that harassment is any unwanted action or something, I get harassed every day by advertising, can I call police?

That's funny. Because we only really have antiharassment rights within personal space, then, against corporations.

I think the two biggest ones that require some sort of police involvement are credible threats of violence, and the harassment coming from multiple people/sources (for a private citizen). In the sense that there’s multiple people conspiring to damage your reputation in some way.

Maybe not necessarily police for the second, but civil legal action, or institutional action if the involved parties all belong to a college or the like.

I'd say that if you're within your rights, have told them clearly and repeatedly to stop, and the person is not stopping any action, messaging, etc., you ought be able to contact the cops.

If multiple attempts to block the person(s) from contacting you have been made, then it seems fair to call it harassment. If person(s) appear mentally unwell, probably best to escalate to LE or another legal remedy.

I think if you've asked someone within your rights to cease and desist behavior aimed at you that upsets or annoys you, and they continue doing it to a point that makes you feel threatened, it's harassment and warrants involving law enforcement.
-
If you don't feel threatened, it might still be harassment, but whether or not it is worth reporting to the police... who knows? One could make arguments both ways, I'm sure.

Leave that to the judges.

Maybe there should be a fine for that, like there is for littering. A piece of litter is not that bad, it would be petty to make it a criminal matter. But if there is no punishment at all then the place gets filthy. Same with unwanted messages.
