I've been wondering recently what exactly stalking someone online entails. I had a conversation with a friend about it, we talked about what stalking someone online would consist of. So the question I have is what exactly does it mean to stalk someone online?
When I talked to my friend about it he wasn't really able to give me a good answer so I thought I would ask people online. Where does it get to the point where you are actually stalking someone? Do you have to know them for it to be considered stalking, or is it only stalking if you don't know them.
For example: if you were look back at someone's posts to find out more about them on a forum, is that considered stalking? If you meet a person on a website and try to find stuff out about them on up on Google or something is that considered stalking?
When I talked to my friend about it he wasn't really able to give me a good answer so I thought I would ask people online. I'm curious what the Escapist thinks here does it get to the point where you are stalking someone? I'm curious for any thoughts on the matter.
And just for extra discussion: Have you ever been stalked online that you know about? Have you ever stalked anyone on the internet?
