I absolutely do not see it as an invasion of my privacy when they do and I don't believe that 'just googling' our T is either.

I sure hope I am not wrong, but I am going by the way I feel about being looked up in my job by the people that come and go to relate to how I feel about look up our T's. My private world is of no concern to the people that come through my job and so I watch what I allow out there to be freely viewed. I have nothing to hide, but I am aware of what I put out there anyway because I know that this is the time we live in.

Now, if we are going to measures to obtain personal information that he/she has not willingly let out there, that is a COMPLETELY different story and as I understood this we were only talking about typical internet looking.

Also, I agree that if the 'googling' is because of a dependency or some inappropriate need on the part of the client to attach to their T in some manner, that would also not be appropriate. Again, I did not take that as the point of this post.

Hopefully this was as I perceived it and not something else.
I don't see the difference. Google is the same tool being used in both "googling" and "cyberstalking" it is the same activity- snooping.

What separates googling from cyberstalking?
