Coercive Control is a Pattern of Coercive Behaviors used to Gain or Maintain Power and Control of One Person over Another.

Coercive control is a strategic form of ongoing oppression and terrorism used to instill fear.

It is illegal in some countries.

"Coercive control creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that pervades all elements of a victim’s life. It works to limit their human rights by depriving them of their liberty and reducing their ability for action. Experts like Evan Stark liken coercive control to being taken hostage. As he says: “the victim becomes captive in an unreal world created by the abuser, entrapped in a world of confusion, contradiction and fear.”

Virginia Police Routinely Use Secret GPS Pings To Track People's Cell Phones | Slashdot

The nonprofit online news site Virginia Mercury investigated their state police departments' "real-time location warrants," which are "addressed to telephone companies, ordering them to regularly ping a customers' phone for its GPS location and share the results with police."

I can't view the original source of the story as I'm within Europe's GDPR zone, so I'm sharing the Slashdot summary so that everyone knows about the situation.
