A lot of people on social media would not go through the effort of following the seven steps of online safety you talked about this makes hackers who stalk people online all the more confident about taking stalking far enough to violate someone’s privacy.

When an acount on social media has been visited by anyone it’s not a violation of someone’s privacy for example if someone looks at an acount after looking it up and views the acount page it’s not a violation of privacy.

If someone has hacked an acount on social media to get in to private messages then it’s obviously a violation of privacy so to be fair someone stalking someone on social media is only ever guilty of violating someone’s privacy if they have successfully hacked an account

Fair point. It's not like some of them have your email or phone number (I never go on social media signing up for my ACTUAL phone number) and handing it to other people w/o your consent. Now THAT would actually be a violation of one's privacy.
