Darren2013 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well even doing something as innocent as checking your ex's Facebook or myspace page can be looked at as stalking. You never know because they might have downloaded some kind of complex app on their computer that allows them to find out who looks at their page and how often. So if you are tempted to check your ex out online it is better to do it from a disguised user name on a computer that is not your own at a public library downtown or in the waiting room of an auto repair shop. Even then only check their page no more than once every few months. This way when they track who visits their page they won't get suspicious if that ip number comes up only occasionally. Do it every hour and they might get suspicious. Even that kind of innocent Internet spying on an ex is considered illegal and can get you thrown in jail. It goes beyond just ruining any chances of a reconciliation. For this reason I do not check my ex's social network pages because who knows what secret application she has that let's her know who is looking and for how often? It is a bad idea unless you enjoy the reputation as a lost love puppy when your ex tells all her friends that she caught you looking at her page. Link to post Share on other sites
Ordinaryday Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 dude you are blowing this all out of proportion! checking your exes facebook page certainly isn't illegal or will get you "thrown in jail", if their fb page is set to public then by definition they are inviting members of the public to look at it. if it is set to friends only and you unfriended them, like all dumpees should, then you wont be able to see anything anyway save for a profile pic. you are certainly not going to get into legal trouble for looking at your exes fb page. that is not to say it is a good idea. and there are NO fb apps that allow people to check who has been viewing their page, any app which claims to do so is a scam. if you are not over them then seeing photos of them with their new partner will set you back and bring up old hurts. I like to pretend my exes are dead, I block them in every conceivable way (I even had my mobile number disconnected to prevent them EVER being able to breadcrumb text me) to avoid seeing or hearing anything that will set me back.

No one can track who views a fb page. It is not illegal unless you hack in to their computer to do it. Just don't look for your own sanity. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Darren2013 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 My point is if you are going to spy on your ex over the Internet then make sure you have done a good job covering your tracts and do it in a way that doesn't risk leaving evidence behind. If that means using a computer away from your house that is not your own then that's a wise first step. Link to post Share on other sites
martaldn Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 if all the people who regularly check ( stalking ) their ex's Facebook or any other online page would go to jail the free world would be like the last episode of Walking Dead. Link to post Share on other sites

Always Pondering Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 There's no such thing as being too paranoid when it comes to this. No, you are actually freaking out too much about this. The serious form of stalking is definitely something to address but the innocent checking we're talking about here is not something to look into that much. It's not illegal and there's no "app" out there that will let you know who has visited your page. There are plenty of apps that advertise that but 100% of the time they are scams.
