Facebook Stalking is a method of gathering information about someone through information posted on an individual’s profile. Facebook allows users to view pictures of the person being stalked through posts informing the social network that this person has uploaded more photos. Access to a person’s wall allows user’s to view the person’s recent activity as well as any status changes they may have made.
Purpose The main purpose of Facebook stalking is to discover the true personality of an individual. Anyone can find information about someone on Facebook that would take you months to find out in person. As Corrie Pikul says, we Facebook stalk because “It makes us feel like Nancy Drew.” For example: A girl who is thinking about dating a certain guy may search his facebook wall to see how many girls he talks to each day, what he talks about, and find out whether he can be considered the “boyfriend type”.
Factors to being stalkedMany factors contribute to someone being Facebook stalked. Everywhere on Facebook there is a little piece of information about you in which someone can learn and gather more information about you. Some of the factors that allow people to become Facebook stalked are as follows: Your info page, which people will find information ranging from date of birth, phone number, along, with email address. Sharing and uploading photos is another way to be stalked. Lastly your status can allow Facebook stalkers to know where you are at all times. According to an article by Kathy Kristof of Yahoo finance wrote in an article the six things that you should not put on Facebook (these tips allow one to be Facebook stalked): 1. Your birth and place 2. Vacation Plans 3. Home Address 4. Confessionals 5. Password Clues and 6. Risky Behavior. All of these elements can lead to one becoming a victim of Facebook stalking.
