Then you better be wearing shades.
Here’s an idea, how about deleting your facebook account and not telling the world where you’re going this evening and what you’re wearing. It wouldn’t hurt to turn off your cellphone gps so the stalker doesn’t know where you are. When people put out so much personal information, they’re only making matters worse.
For an organization that attempted to legalize pedophilia, I have trouble taking them seriously on other issues.

Sorry for you. I am sitting here in my underwear.
States have begun to address the use of computer equipment for stalking purposes by including provisions prohibiting such activity in both harassment and anti-stalking legislation. A handful of states, such as Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire and New York have specifically including prohibitions against harassing electronic, computer or e-mail communications in their harassment legislation.
Also, some states have both stalking and harassment statutes that criminalize threatening and unwanted electronic communications.
Many states may already address this issue by making it a crime to communicate by any means with the intent to harass or alarm the victim. I would say repeated unwanted messages or emails falls into this harassment category, especially if you ask someone to stop contacting you electronically, or by any means, and they do not.
Having been stalked, I call bull excrement. How in the world is having nasty grams left on your facebook page, or even threatening text messages worse than harassing phone calls, or having waking up to find someone staring at you?
Electronic harassment may be disturbing, but electronic devices can be turned off. Being physically stalked means you must be constantly aware of your surroundings, and must plan each move to make sure it won’t put yourself in danger. It means losing the freedom to do what you want, when you want. It means having to evaluate everyone around you to determine if they’re the stalker. It means going to sleep at night wondering what might happen after you close your eyes. It means having to consciously not have habits or patterns of behavior that could be exploited. It means always having to listen for odd noises, and when heard having to evaluate what the noise might be. It means not knowing when you’re going to turn a corner in the grocery store, look up from the gas pump, or glance out the window and find yourself in the sites of your stalker. It means “home” isn’t safe anymore, to say nothing of your yard or neighborhood or car.
Upsetting messages on electronic devices? Oh, please.
