ANSWER:
Excessively monitoring a partner’s behavior to control what they do and with whom or tracking a person through technology or social media are examples of relationship abuse. It is a True statement.
EXPLANATION:
With increasing recognition that domestic abuse/violence can be perpetuated utilising technology, there has been a surge of news and stories which focus in what way abusers utilise "technology to coerce" and control their partners (victims). Applications offer abusers a petrifying new toolbox to control their exes and partners. Phone software enables them to follow their partner's movements, monitor their texts, emails and calls and even spy on them or watch them.
For example, Spyware enables one to listen in to and record calls, see photos, read texts and even watch his/her partner through their phone's camera. Such monitoring of the partner's behaviour in order to know whom they are with or tracking their whereabouts, or controlling what they do via technology or social media are definitely instances of relationship abuse or violence.
