Fucking. Yes. I won't get into the details very much because she could still be out there...searching...but I was majorly stalked on Twitter once. It came to the point where I had to just protect my account. Since a protected account seems counterintuitive to what Twitter is supposed to be like, I didn't see a point in using it any more. Haven't used Twitter since, haha. So maybe that's the closest experience I have that can compare to yours. But that was a rare, probably (HOPEFULLY) a once-in-a-lifetime scenario. Women online have to deal with that shit every day. I think this XKCD sums it up well:
Twitter definitely needs better block mechanisms, while we're at it.
