(Cyber) Stalking


I think stalking in general is pretty bad. I'm talking about the following people around or waiting outside someones house in your car sort of stalking. Online stalking is a little different although I'm sure it can cause stress and discomfort to the victim. That is in the more extreme cases though.
The milder form, and what would probably constitute 'bad baheaviour' would be reading peoples emails or perhaps reading their text messages when they are out of the room.
Facebook is probably the greatest evil when it comes to cyber stalking! In one instant you can find out someones likes, dislikes, where they have been on holiday, what they do etc etc. You can read their online journals and blogs to see what they are up to.
I think it is too tempting to see what people really think of us and too easy to perhaps use this information to manipulate people.
