Find yourself wishing your Facebook had a "dislike" button whenever a new "friend" pops up? Getting harassed and threatened in the span of 140 characters? Is your MySpace becoming less your personal space and more like the final frontier of bad behavior online?

It happens more than you think. Cyberstalking and cyberbullying through social media is the topic of a talk being put on by Jodi Ito of the ITS department next week Tuesday, Jan/ 25 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Campus Center Dining Room 203E as part of National Stalking Awareness Month. The talk is being sponsored sponsored by the PAU Violence Program and Women's Center.
