(a) CYBER STALKING​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thandi's story: The terror of cyber-stalking (based on a true story)

crisisThandi clicked through to her profile page. She stared hard at the screen, deep in thought, pressed the palms of her hands to her tired eyes and sighed. She clicked ‘Edit personal info’ and when the dropdown appeared under ‘Relationship status’, she paused and took a deep breath, she couldn’t believe after all these months that she was actually going to do this. She selected ’Single’ and clicked ‘Save’.

She and Dave had been together for nearly two years, but eventually his possessive nature and constant harassing had worn her down to the point where her friends hardly recognised the pale and sunken-eyed girl who had once been the life and soul of the party. She had hardly seen most of her friends for the last year, as Dave had insisted on reading all her sms’s and emails and had complained every time she went out with them, telling her she had to choose: him or them. It was only with the help of Nokuthula, her BFF and the one who never gave up on her, that she had had the courage to move out of the flat she shared with Dave and onto Thuli’s couch.

After nearly a week of just sleeping and watching TV, she felt the life returning to her and she finally felt up to going back online and going back to classes. When she logged onto her Facebook account, the first thing she saw was the 56 messages, all from Dave – some were pleading, others threatening. Her email account was similar – 3 or 4 messages a day, some pages and pages long, begging, pleading, cajoling and aggressive in turn. Then the phone calls started. At first they came once or twice a day, and then 5 or 10 times, sometimes at 2 in the morning. Eventually in desperation she changed her SIM and got a new number. What a drag. She also removed him as a friend from all her social media accounts for good measure, and blocked his emails. Thank goodness he didn’t know where she was staying, she thought.

Answer 2

Internet or other electronic methods to stalk or harass a person is stalking.

Explanation:

1. False charges, defamation, slander, and libel are examples. Monitoring, identity theft, threats, vandalism, sex solicitation, doxing, or blackmail are all examples.
2. Realtime or offline stalking is frequently used in conjunction with cyberstalking.
3. A stalker might be an internet stranger or someone the target knows in real life. They might be anonymous and invite participation from those who aren't even aware of the goal.
