National Stalking Awareness Month and Presidential Proclamation

President Barack Obama signed a proclamation designating January 2011 as National Stalking Awareness Month, citing the prevalence of the crime since the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. The hosts review the formal language of the declaration, which calls on Americans to recognize signs of stalking and support survivors. The segment concludes with a critique of social media platforms like Facebook, suggesting their data collection practices mirror the behavior described in the anti-stalking initiative.
