I recently read this book. I think you could benefit from reading it. It's about how escalation of language—as you just did my moving up to "cyberstalking"—is used by people to escape responsibilities.

>escape responsibilities

Just exactly what “responsibilities” do you perceive me to have in this discussion? Others are advocating monitoring another person’s property using technology and publishing it on the internet. I am suggesting that there is no reasonable civil reason to do so. The only “responsibility” I have here is to be true to my opinion. I stand by it.

Also, I used the term “cyberstalking” because that is exactly what it is. Here is a Wikipedia page on the term:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking

According to that page cyberstalking is the use of the internet and technology to stalk an individual and those actions “may include monitoring”.

Here is the definition of “stalk”:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking

“Stalking is unwanted and/or repeated surveillance by an individual or group toward another person”

If you find fault in my definition, feel free to push an edit to those Wikipedia pages.
