Domestic Violence and Technology
Technology can be a powerful tool for connection and support—but it can also be misused by people who want to control or harm others. In situations involving domestic violence, abusers may use phones, social media, email, location services, or other digital tools to monitor, harass, threaten, or track someone online.
Taking steps to protect your digital privacy can help increase your safety and peace of mind.
