Social media stalking

Social media stalking is repeated, unwanted observation of someone’s online activity, especially when it continues after they have limited access or tried to create distance.

Ordinary online activity becomes information gathered outside the access you chose to give. A post, like, location or active status may reveal more than you intended to share with that person.

You may change what you post, check viewer lists, avoid sharing locations, restrict accounts or wonder how the person learned something. Online space may stop feeling separate from their observation.

Seeing publicly available content is not automatically stalking. The distinction is repetition, unwanted attention and what happens after a limit: whether access is respected, or new accounts, other people or offline contact are used to continue observing.

You do not need to decide what it is. You can note the date and what happened, and read it back later.

One moment rarely tells the whole story. Look at what repeats over time—and what happens when harm, disagreement or a boundary is named.
