Abuse Using Technology

In a relationship where there is domestic violence or stalking, an abuser may record you. This could mean recording your conversations or taking video of you. S/he can use the recordings to get more information about your personal life or even as a way to blackmail you by threatening to share intimate or embarrassing information, photos, or videos. Keeping you from having any privacy can also be a way to keep power and control over you. You can learn more about misusing recording technology on our Electronic Surveillance page.
