Law and Cyber Stalking
Another example of cyber stalking someone is people who try to solicit minors for the purposes of having intimate relations with them. In the United States, it is illegal to own child pornography or to solicit a minor for sex. However, this has also been on the rise due to predators on the Internet taking advantage of young, naive people.
Finally, a person can cyber stalk someone by causing their computer equipment to malfunction. This occurs when a person sends out a type of virus known as spyware. Spyware allows a person to monitor a person’s use of their computer and can give them access to private files and information about their victims. In most cases, spyware can manifest itself by opening up unwanted email messages.
Cyber stalking comes in many forms, but each form revolves around a person’s unlawful use of a computer that is connected to the Internet. Its definitions range from people openly harassing others, soliciting minors for sex, or sending out spyware to monitor a computer. It is up to each state legislature to pass new laws that will enable all of these cyber predators to be brought to justice.
