cyberstalking

Cyberstalking, which is simply an extension of the physical form of stalking, is where the electronic mediums such as the Internet are used to pursue, harass or contact another in an unsolicited fashion. Most often, given the vast distances that the Internet spans, this behaviour will never manifest itself in the physical sense but this does not mean that the pursuit is any less distressing. There are a wide variety of means by which individuals may seek out and harass individuals even though they may not share the same geographic borders, and this may present a range of physical, emotional, and psychological consequences to the victim.

Person A: "Did you hear about Alfonse, hes totally cyberstalking this chick from another country"

cyberstoning

Through the use of the internet or other digital media, expose to mass or group public derision, ridicule, harrassment, or abuse ; commonly stemming from a perceived slight, insult, or failure to adhere to social norms, in public or the Internet. Akin to stoning in realspace, but without the stones and violence.

A woman in Japan brings her dog with her on the subway. The dog poops in the subway train, in front of witnesses, and the woman leaves it behind and departs the train. One of the witnesses takes a digital photo of the dog and his business, along with said dog owner, and posts it on the web. The story spreads, and eventually, the woman gets identified. Thousands of outraged Japanese proceed to pillory her, harrassing her with emails, blog posts, and find other ways of cyberstoning her for letting her dog poo on the train.
