Facebook stalking
Facebook Stalking consists of monitoring Facebook activities of Facebook users.Like regular (cyber)stalking,
Facebook stalking allows the stalker to secretly gather information about the
stalkee but, unlike regular (cyber)stalking, Facebook stalking is not illegal as it's the stalkee self that spontaneously posts information online about him/herself.As you might know, posting contents on Facebook (or anywhere else online) means publishing content.Facebook stalking is generally accepted by the
voyeuristic victims but sometimes they complain being *stalked*. This shows either ignorance in the use of these
new media platforms (and in the law) or eagerness to accuse their neighbor of the very same evil they suffer from. In psychology this behavior is called projection.In addition, being a Facebook user stalked for real or not, nobody can know it, due to strict Facebook rules which prevent users to know who visited their profile.

Facebook Stalking, like regular stalking, allows
the stalker to secretly gather information about the person they are interested in; the
stalkee if you will. Unlike regular stalking, Facebook Stalking is less likely to have an illegal component and is generally accepted by it's
voyeuristic victims. The argument being, that if you didn't want others to know about your life, you wouldn't post it all over the internet.

Facebook Stalking

When an individual (male or female)
scours another individual's
profile, frequently checks their status updates, or reads their wall posts to and from other people. This is usually done either because the individual wants to know as much as possible about the individual whose profile they are reading, or they're bored and haven't looked at that person's profile yet after they've gained them as a friend on facebook. Some people admit to it, other's deny they have been doing it, even when
caught in the act.
Example:
Joe: "Dude what are you doing?"
Mike: *Looks up from
ex-girlfriend's profile, whom he is
facebook stalking* "Nothing."
Joe: *Sees ex-girlfriend's profile page* "Quit facebook stalking that chick and come
play Xbox"
Mike: "I wasn't facebook stalking her!"

A euphemism for finding out about a person on their Facebook page so as not to need to ask for all the mundane details (hobbies, favorite quotes, marriage status) so conversations can go straight to arguing over the relative
merits of Shadow of the
Hegemon vs.
Xenocide
Example:
I thought she looked
pretty cute, but after Facebook Stalking her I found out she thinks Children of the Mind is the best
Ender novel!
