interlopation

The subtle or persistent act of intruding into someone’s life, especially through digital means, without invitation—often after they’ve made it clear the door is closed. Can involve passive surveillance, algorithmic nudging, or emotional reentry. Not quite stalking, but definitely unwelcome.
No matter how many times I remove certain profiles, they keep showing up in my feed. It’s like the algorithm is committed to pure interlopation.
