Stalkers
Category: Bad Actors
This is defined as the "use of learning systems to monitor the location and activity of an individual through social media or personal device data. Also considered to encompass other crimes around coercive relationships, domestic abuse, gaslighting etc., and to relate to a current news story concerning the complicity of Western technology companies in the provision of apps for enforcing social norms in repressive societies" (Hubbard 2019). It is concerning that some experts rank stalking as a 'low concern' because "although extremely damaging to individuals, (it) could not operate at scale."
