- Comment on Cyberstalking has surged by 70% in the UK since 2012, study finds 1 week ago:
That’s actually probably impressive.
In 2013, instagram hit 100 million monthly users (and now has 20x that, unsure about geographic distribution but…). I personally assume cyber stalking and mass online social media adoption are reasonably correlated.
Rough thesis? Back in the day, higher proportion of people were cyber stalked. Many more people went publicly online, more people stalked but as a percentage of those online, probably less than the apparently brave trail blazers.
