They have people stalking you that you don't know they are paid harressing stalkers

Creepy...!

How they track them how they do it

Thanks for this piece. This is a huge issue that keeps growing & requires better solutions. The root of abuse is power and control, and cyber tools allow an abuser endless branches to maintain control over their victims.

Remember when Obama stalked Carter Page and Trump campaign? No? Oh you'll find out about it on Monday. Well maybe not. NBC will barely cover the story because of the Shampeachment

And for unethical government to track you for political reasons

gangstalking

Yup, . MSM keeps attacking dissidents

Is that how Schiff got People’s phone records?

So when tech companies do it, it's called personalizing the user experience, but when an individual does it, it's called stalking? Big brother is watching....big brother is always watching...

Digitallity having 0 mark if such incodent happen. Union need to stop such type of Badshahas law.

Technology is a double edged weapon

With all respect, don't just tell us about it. Fix it, or have someone else fix it. Please.
