7 Reasons Why the Internet has Become a Breeding Ground for Stalkers
5. Many people are not aware of the risks of being stalked online
The internet has become a breeding ground for stalkers especially because not everyone is aware of the dangers and risks of cyber stalking. Many people don’t even accept it as a real threat to themselves when they log in. This lack of awareness makes it easy for stalkers to use tricks to befriend someone online because that person may not be even aware of how someone can harass them with a simple friend request.
6. Gathering information about a person has become easy
Stalking has become very easy on the internet because gathering information about a person has become very easy even if you have not added them as friends. A simple search will show the person’s professional profile from which you can find out what type of job they do and where they work. Further searching will allow you to find out their blog address, if they have one. Finally, social networking websites will help you trace their personal details including birth dates.
7. Location is not a hindrance in cyber stalking
It would be impossible for a stalker to stalk another person who lives in another country. But with the internet, that has become easy. Cyber stalkers don’t need to be at the same place, same city or even the same country to stalk someone. This makes is very easy for people to target their former friends or partners who live overseas.
