Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Not to be confused with stalking in a criminal sense, Social Media Stalking (otherwise known as Online or Facebook Stalking) is when a character scrolls through someone's social media for the purpose of uncovering information or for interpersonal reasons. In other cases, they might be Googling the person to look at the results. Since practically everyone in the developed world has a phone and Facebook has around 3 billion active users, it's not surprising that it's a popular trope. It often involves someone browsing their love interest or their ex's profile to fawn or jealously seethe at photos. It's frequent in contemporary Teen Drama pieces because you know, the Phoneaholic Teenager stereotype. Often a person will take pride in their detective skills, and share all the juicy things they found out through Googling. It can be used to reinforce that Social Media Is Bad or that social media is important to socialising, and may reflect a broad trend in the media that Everything Is Online. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The trope can sometimes toy with Lampshade Hanging and be Played for Laughs, or in darker and more dramatic instances, it's borderline criminal. In most examples, it involves a woman stalking a male, which could be considered a Double Standard. Compare Acquainted in Real Life, Its A Small Net Afterall, Selfie Fiend, Stalker with a Crush and Smitten Teenage Girl. As this is Truth in Television, No Real Life Examples, Please!. |

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: When Josh's ex-girlfriends Rebecca and Valencia learn that Josh is dating a girl named Anna, they fall into a rabbit hole of stalking Anna on the internet in hopes of learning everything they can about her. This is depicted in the song "Research Me Obsessively", where Anna's online images come to life and seemingly taunt the two. The lyrics go from light social media scouring to posing as a high school friend to gain access to her private social media to paying someone on the internet to do a background check. | |
