Stalkers are all over Facebook and that is the most populated place on the internet these days. Everyone needs to be cautions on the internet because you don't know who could be watching you. "Dealing with a situation of being stalked on Facebook can be complicated by the fact that Facebook causes us to view our connections as "friends". That can make getting rid of these stalkers tough, because they just don't seem to go away, and you don't want to be mean to them. Yet, allowing their behavior to diminish your enjoyment of Facebook is no option at all, and there are some things you can try to get them to stop Facebook stalking."

Privacy is very important on the internet because you could have a stalker and the stalker could end up killing you. "Lately the news has been littered with cases of internet stalkers who hunt down, assault and even kill their victims. According to the National Institute of Justice annually 1.4 million American are victims of stalking. As a security specialist, I am often called upon to research and investigate internet related stories. I can say with certainty that most victims of stalkers never report their cases to the authorities. Moreover, there are factors that help contribute to a stalker's obsession; and, there are ways that everyone can participate in helping to ensure that the internet is safe for all. Using my experience as a security specialist, I will endeavour to detail this article with the signs you can look for; and, how you can stop internet stalkers. "

Technology is getting more advanced and identity is getting easier to take, like finger prints and photos. "Imagine if you waved to someone and, without your knowledge, a high-resolution camera took a photograph of your hand, capturing your fingerprints. You might be upset. Or-if you were visiting Disneyland, where they already make an image of your fingerprint to save you from waiting in a long line-you might find the novelty of the technology, and the immediate benefits…gratifying. The ambivalence we sometimes feel about new technologies that reveal identifiable personal information balances threats to privacy against incremental advantages. "

Facebook has upgraded more now days and you don't have as much privacy. Peoples life could be in danger if they have someone watching them and they don't know it. "Facebook's privacy system seems like it doesn't exist any more. According to the data below, around 2010, almost all your information is available to all. Back then, the situation was worse, what about today? Ever since the Facebook timeline was released, people complained greatly about the privacy issue. If the person could create an updated version of this infograph, I wonder where he would put the 2011 data ? "

Facebook doesn't have good privacy because when you post a status it shows where you are at the time. "Today, oversharing has become typical of online social networking, with people publicizing real-time information of where they are (Foursquare, Gowalla) and what they're doing (Twitter, Facebook)."

If your not careful you could be watched right now by the government on the internet and you don't even know it. "A group of nine scientists and doctors recently sued the US government claiming that their personal Gmail accounts were under federal surveillance which led to harassment or dismissal for Food & Drug Administration (FDA) employees who were whistleblowers."

Whatever you look up or plan on the internet people can see it. If the government pays for it they can see what you are looking at. People can stalk you on the internet. "Are you planning a trip? A wedding? Have you been searching your medical symptoms on WebMD, or Google stalking your high school crush? Did all of your friends wish you a Happy Birthday on your Facebook page? If so, your financial status, religious beliefs, medical history, birth date and hometown have all been exposed, recorded and compiled into a virtual database that functions as your digital alter ego, a sort of online avatar. That critical mass of information may be accessible to the government or to anyone else who asks (or pays) for it."

Not having privacy on the internet could lead to stalking or getting killed. "A 20-year-old woman stalked through the Internet and killed. "

The government is getting into our personal life by, invading our privacy. "Today, private companies are tracking as many of our movements as they can online, selling that information to other companies who in turn share it with law enforcement and the government. "

People tracking our personal life on the internet can be bad. People can steal other peoples identity. "Internet companies track and sell advertisers virtually everything we do online. That's why a 'do not track me' system is vital. If Washington fails to act, California should create its own system."
