There are so many different ways people can be followed. I think following is the most obvious type of stalking but as the link to the picture below shows, people can even be tracked on websites:http://www.plong.com/MusicCatalog/J/John%20B%20-%20I
This article also shows how people can tracked easily on their mobile phones.

This is so bad! It’s so easy for someone to track their ex-partner’s movements with this system.
I think any kind of stalking is harmful to the person being stalked (even if they don’t know anything about it). It’s an invasion of privacy and it’s just as unhealthy for the stalker (who has probably got problems that need to be sorted).
However, CCTV cameras can catch us on camera up to 300 times a day, if being followed on the internet is stalking, isn’t this also a type of stalking?
I think stalking famous people is just as bad. Celebrity status doesn’t give people the right to follow them. Linkin Park’s lead singer was stalked by a computer expert, so perhaps normal people can get wrapped up in stalking too?

This is just a joke but stalking shouldn’t be glamorised commercially, it gives people the impression that it’s OK to do.

Stalking-
I have checked out the article from the link, and can not believe how easy it is for someone’s movements to be watched. This is scary and takes only10 minutes, then your phone could be tracked and from then on, you’re whereabouts available! I totally agree that stalking is harmful to the person being stalked, if and when they discover that they have been a victim of stalking the emotions they must feel is unimaginable! Plus they may take considerable amount of time to feel safe again doing the simplest of things!
