How to know who’s been Stalking you on Facebook
The Facebook network keeps the record of the people who have checked out your Facebook updates, photo posts and link shares. They are gathered in a list that is for your access alone.
It is also possible for you to make a secret list of people you want to monitor and you receive notifications when they update something new. But since the people on the list do not get notified, you too will not know if you belong to another person’s secret list.
How to Stop a Facebook Stalker
The best way to stop stalkers and have peace is to block the user or users. To do this you should:
Enter the stalker’s name in the search engine, look for the block option on their profile and complete the process from them ever seeing you on the network.
There is also an option for you to report the user to get them locked out of their own accounts to stop them from victimizing others.
You can adjust your privacy settings if you don’t want to block a user. This gives you the opportunity to choose what can be seen about you and by who.
Keep stalkers away and enjoy your social media freedom.
