    There is/was this netflix serie “You” not that bad but it kind of portrays the dark side of cyberstalking.

        Not really no. But in the moment meant when it leads to followers roaming your front door and stuff. I wish innocent fans understand the implications of a stranger waiting for you to wake up.

          They’re often far from innocent. I know someone, an honest, well-known person in a controversial field, who has been cyber-stalked by several conspiracy whackjobs who came to his door and made death threats. He had to hire 24/7 security.

            Back when I was a Reddit moderator, somebody posted literal child pornography on our casual conversation subreddit. It got caught by AutoModerator, but I gave him the final ban, and Reddit’s admins purged the account soon after.

            Guess who stalked me for three years.
