Mobile phones are frequently being used by abusive men to track the movements and location of their estranged partners, something a researcher says is now all too easy with modern digital technology.

"They used family plans and devices connected to the same cloud or Wi-Fi network for surveillance of their former partner.

The eSafetyWomen program's manager, Rosalie O'Neale, said technology was being used in almost every case of domestic and family violence they heard about."That kind of thing is very closely tied to offline stalking and monitoring, which again is a very big red flag for potential physical harm. Improve consumer safeguards to protect privacy and facilitate release from contracts and family plans when domestic violence is an issue"It is tracking her all the time. It is that kind of constant and insidious pressure on a woman that makes it particularly frightening, for she is feeling unsafe in the first place."

Not just men doing it. Y suggest it's only men? How far to take this group identity. Y not narrow it down blonde victims, or over 35s? Such rubbish journalism cheery picking only some offenders and victims.

Frequently. It's happening frequently folks.

She is worried about her ex partner finding her, so she does a media interview including her photo?

Typical feminist story. Only men do bad things. Never has a woman ever used electronic devices or social media to abuse or control men!

...and she still has a FB account !

Perhaps the ex-partners should hire counter-hackers to expose the porn habits of these men... I’m sure there’d be plenty of material...

hey world.... control is abuse

More research needed into link between eating disorders and autism, experts sayAs more children are diagnosed with both anorexia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), experts call for more research to come up with better treatment and support. If ASD is an X-linked disorder there will always be at least twice as many males suffering from it than females, but amongst the woke media adolescent boys in particular are the least important humans on Earth so they mostly get ignored as if others suffer more than they do.
