    Stalking people online is fucking creepy, no wonder people got “pissy”.

      People trying to label the act of viewing information willfully placed on a public profile as “stalking” just highlights their own technological illiteracy.

      Don’t want random passersby seeing inside your internet equivalent of a street facing window? Close the curtains.

        It’s not “tech illiteracy” you muppet, a person standing with their nose to your front window is fine for you? You must be overjoyed with how much data megacorps collect on you to microtarget ads because you provided it.

          I’m not, which is why I don’t make information I don’t want to be publicly scrutinized visible on pages any rando can access by simply clicking a link plastered under/on my name, you ignoramus.

      i don’t know if you can really call it stalking if they’re willingly making information about themselves available for anyone to see. I didn’t have to so much as punch his name into google, just click his name at the top of his post and it was all there for anyone to see.

      He didn’t have to put his information out there and make it publicly available, but presumably he was ok with everyone on Facebook having access to that information about him.

      And if he wasn’t ok with that, it made him realize his error so he could address it.
