Is looking up someone on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn without their knowledge considered stalking?

Answer 4

It is But they wont know that you been Looking at there Profile Facebook and Twitter does not Tell there Users who Views there Profile

Answer 5

If you do it once, it's just "checking out". If you were paid to do it, it's called "character investigation". If it's to help you analyze his character, just one time, then say it's "research". However, if you do it in all social sites habitually day in and day out, trying to learn everything about him through the internet without really speaking to him face-to-face then that's stalking!

Answer 6

No is the short answer if that is all you do.

Answer 7

It's called cyber stalking, but we've all done it. Never had a crush?

Answer 8

No, it sure isn't. People do it all the time.

Answer 9

No, there’s a reason you can just look up someone on those sites.

It can be part of stalking, but that alone isn’t stalking
