Some Thoughts About Stalkerware and Technology in Intimate Partner Violence

Admin on 29/08/2020

A few years ago, I wrote about Flexispy after the company got hacked and some data was released. It was the first time I encountered stalkerware in my work. Since then, I have had many discussions about this creepy market and more generally technology used in intimate partner violence (IPV) with researchers and activists. I think it is the right time to reflect on what we know about stalkerware and what needs to be done on this topic.
