Have you ever been stalked on social media?

Question

Not necessarily by close friends, and stalk meaning watch what they post on TikTok, Instagram story, Facebook story, just keep up with mostly everything they post and whatnot.

A little... but I think it was mostly people who were lacking in tact (many had various mental or developmental issues). Some got a bit creepy and step way out of bounds with them, and they'd ask me... I'd apologize for their behavior and explain how I knew them. Usually not a big deal, but I'd double check my privacy settings.

I have been mildly stalked in real life (as well as online); luckily nothing too creepy (no attempted stabbings or anything) but enough to be a little cautious. I don't think many were all that interested romantically. Most people only have a little access to anything I may write. I keep social media pretty limited.

I DO get weird notices from, say, LinkedIn: "30 people looked at your page in the last 3 weeks" (But I'm skeptical of the validity - I think it's just an upsell tactic for me to pay to supposedly see who these people were (I doubt more than ten people have visited my profile in the last six months). I think I'm probably too "boring" to "stalk."

So I think it could be a little bit of "B," "C" and "D."

I was stalked once by a classmate… I had my relatives block their account so, they couldn’t get back in. That girl was creepy AF.

Yes, I've been stalked many time I don't mind, I guess they either wanted to be my friend or were attracted to me depending on the person.

Probably, wouldn’t be surprised if someone did throughout all my years on the internet.

Yep. By haters before, but also an ex, which I think was the worst.

Yes, some freak in Texas kept breaking into a private conversation I was trying to have with someone.

Definitely by advertisers, which is why I ditched Google and FB.

Via my social media accounts and other means, my own government spies on me; the Chinese Communist Party spies on me; Chinese businesses spie on me.
