Online Community—Cyber-stalkers’ Paradise
Few months ago, I opened my Friendster account and saw that a certain Pablo Banila had viewed me. Not minding strangers to view my site, I first thought that this is another harmless visit, anyway, I also view other people’s profile when time permits.
Next morning, I opened my account and saw this man again. And the unsolicited visitor keeps on visiting my profile almost every day for few months and even up to this time.
While he haven’t sent me any message yet, or even attempted to add me as his friends, his persistent presence on my account has somewhat irked me. Feeling curious, I viewed his account and was appalled by what I had seen.
His profile account is full of curses and indecent words. One thing he said that I cannot forget is this (this is the exact posting, while I view that there are some indecent words, I think this is the only way to make readers understand): DAMMIT I’M NOT A PLAYBOY OKAY?! I’M JUST EXTREMELY, PATHETICALLY DESPERATE AFTER 23 YEARS OF CELIBACY… SHIT!!! I HAVEN’T EVEN TALKED TO ANY GIRL IN REAL LIFE FOR MORE THAN 1 MINUTE AND I HAVEN’T. TOUCHED. ANY. FUUUUUCK!!!!!
My first impression is that this guy is an online stalker, forcing me to set my account in private mode (which annoys me because long lost friends will find it hard to contact me).
While some people would probably say that joining online communities means a person should give up some of his/her private life (which means that there is nothing wrong for viewing other people’s profile), anyone who will see this guy’s profile will perceive him as stalker.
I Googled search him and saw that he was indeed a cyber-stalker. According to a news’ website, MySpace Mod had deleted all his accounts because he had been stalking young girls pretending that he was their former classmates.
And now that his MySpace accounts were all deleted, some girls would still complain that they are being stalked by this guy who uses many pseudonym accounts and seem to have all the time in the world to view his targets’ profiles.
Now I believe that his new targets are Friendster users.
