What’s the legal issue?' constitutes public discourse as it engages in a debate about the nature of online platforms, free speech, and the behavior of individuals in public discussions. The tone is confrontational and dismissive, and the intent appears to be to challenge the other user's position by questioning the legal basis of their argument and labeling them as a 'troll.'
