Thought about this a lot. When people leave the church of Scientology I believe they are gangstalked and also think Shelly Miscavige was either murdered or is imprisoned. Many ex members have been actively gang-stalked by the church of Scientology. Anonymous was all about helping them finally being believed back a few years ago. Bet a lot of us have seen their stories and believe them.
Then there are stories that are older than that, like what happened to the woman Angelina Jolie played in "Changeling" who had corrupt doctors say the child was hers, psychologists who held her (and several people ranging from an inconvenient battered ex of a Police Chief to everyone who could prove the police were corrupt) in permanent residency in a psychiatric unit, drugged and electric shocked. For those who doubt how accurate it is, look up how it was made. Google makes it easy. One day she's a happy struggling single mom. Then her son gets kidnapped, the corrupt police needed a positive story, accidentally returned the wrong kid, and she had thing after thing after thing happen to her. All it takes is stepping in some knowledge you shouldn't have or rubbing a psychopath who can hack the wrong way.
You can hire actors online to be bizarre to people. I saw it on a BAE website once while job searching. Also (and I've seen this personally) it's easy to get groups of people to be horrible to someone. They'll do it for cash or because they believe the person is bad or a threat to their nation/church/whatever someone with the motivation makes up. Worse if they're a member of one of those lame mafia of the mediocre they call "Freemasons" because those jerks will aid each other without question.
I knew a psychopath who had a grandpa who died a freemason, so he asked for years and no one would sponsor him (because psychopath) until he met an immoral freemason who said he'd sponsor him if he'd lie for him and put in a good word so he could get a better contract job with the government. Agreement was struck, needed guy #2. The two of them told a sob story to guy #2 about how psychopath's mom wouldn't let psychopath's dad join and it's been his dream (and his deceased grandfather's) that he join the freemasons and he just wanted to be wonderful. New Dupe decides it'll be okay if he just hangs out with him for a few weeks so he can say he knew him and sponsor him. Psychopath's wife thinks he's joining to make himself a better person than he has been. Thinks freemasons are like the shriners. Lets them think he's fine and agrees to let him. Then he moved her out of town, upped the abuse and she left for her kids safety. Technically, that's not supposed to be how you join, and they won't let you join once you're divorced, but they've got no problem with battering. But guess what? Freemasons are bound by an oath to cover up each other's crimes unless it involves murder or treason. He wants to beat you? That's fine. They'll help him even in court. Guess what? Almost every lawyer and judge and politician is a freemason. Once they have free reign to do whatever they want to you, it gets bad. Does that count as gangstalking? It's certainly damaging to victims. Not to mention what can happen to you if someone like that can hack and has some pull and a lot of money.
Something like 5 years ago the news started covering actual gangstalking and how much easier it was to do because of the internet. As for no one will hack you because it's not worth it, that's not true. There used to be an entire subreddit /r/unsecuredlivefeed that openly shared links to people who have no idea they're being watched. The only rule is that they can't have a password on their video monitors. Also
www.insecam.org which just has security cameras for all over.
Thanks to the NSA and lack of privacy we have backdoors built into all our stuff so if you get a hacker, you can't keep them out of your home. We have cameras in our newer TVs
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davelewis/2015/02/10/is-your-tv-spying-on-you/ cameras and microphones built into our computers and phones (that I don't need citation for because we know they're there, they're features) that can easily be hacked, and no you don't need to touch it before breaking in.
And the idea that you can just save yourself with a VPN doesn't work if you're logging in to your email (especially Gmail) plus your computer is constantly backing itself up on cloud and just... omg the data breeches. We don't even have hippa really.

But who and what does what with your info? I've even heard of people buying other people's uber passwords on the deepweb and not for a lot of money.

Heck, in some states as soon as you register to vote they publish your address and phone number and what party you belong to (Know someone you'd like to search out in Florida?
https://registration.elections.myflorida.com/CheckVoterStatus ) . All you need is the person's birthday, which you can get pretty easily from sites like Intelius, peoplefinder, and the 15 odd other websites just like them, or straight from the person if they had a party or aren't careful. Office birthday party anyone? How about New York?

Back when I was a christian I went to a church where they smuggled someone in from Voice of the Martyrs and I believe they were gangstalked by their government in China.
I visited youtube videos after being here to see more about "Targeted Individuals" though and the biggest mistake for most people is guessing why this is happening or how it's happening. It's easy. I was targeted by an ex who forced my kids to make things up about me. Really serious things. To everyone. And if they didn't they were punished. If they did they were rewarded. They were told what to make up. It happened for years in a small town. People would point at me, and say "It's her! She's..." and then I wouldn't hear the rest. I was getting attacked by so many different people and couldn't figure it out. I found out after several years when they decided to tell me. Years of harassment from everywhere from the schools to random people at the library. Just everywhere. People will do horrible things to you if they believe you're a child molester or beat kids or have them living with rats. OMG was CPD ever awful. Meanwhile he was literally torturing them at his house during visitation. Making them write fake journals about me daily (and if they weren't good enough re-writing), video taping them making stuff up on his cellphone (and if it wasn't good enough, do it again). Years of this. And me without a clue. That's how gangstalking happens. It doesn't take a whole government. It doesn't take a mind control program (although given we've had those in the past, and other bad things that our CIA was involved against our own citizens) to do it. Just one person.
When the kids told everyone, they weren't protected by any of those people and they severely paid for telling. Turns out, people will do a lot out of perceived wrongdoing, but not when faced with the actual thing. I didn't even get an apology. A few of the places that participated even had to keep it up because what they'd done wasn't exactly legal. Then one move and it started all over again, just without the kids.
New people will pile on because old stuff happened to you. Makes you vulnerable. You won't have your health, you won't have financial wellbeing, you'll have years of lies and damage from others. And for what? What one guy could do. Add to that that contrary to popular belief, you can hire people to break the law and get into your apartment (my doorknob was taken right off one day), and also put security cameras in your hallway (that you think came from the office), or hire people to follow you (I used to have this happen to the point where if I stopped walking they'd run into me and then the kids would say "He's been following you for miles like that"). -Can't drive. Seizures. Walked everywhere. One woman literally recorded my son and I with a huge tablet. She pulled over, pulled it out and just recorded away. Weird until I websearched private investigators and found out there were a huge number of them in this stupid small town. They hired everyone from old women to young men. Social security wastes a lot of money on them, but so do spiteful ex husbands. And if you hire cheap unethical ones, they don't care if you see them. Looks like Gangstalking. Easy to think you're gangstalked. But can you see that it only is in the stalking kind of way?
I thought about not posting but recently watched a documentary with a woman who, after years of fighting, finally proved she was subjected to horrible torture at a psychiatric facility -I think it was in England, but it could have been the US- at the hands of the government. Years of being diagnosed with things, being treated crazy, and just having a miserable life, she was finally able to get her medical records, which shock of all shocks wasn't doctored. Years of fighting! And she went back to therapy afterward. And America has a long record of hurting it's own citizens. I could see us happily plowing through another MKultra.
The trick is being able to recognize when it's just a series of bad luck and when it's not. When it's all coming from one spiteful stalker it's easier to see. If I had this out of nowhere, I don't know what I'd think.
I once heard James Fallon (the famous psychopath and the man who wrote the test for psychopathy) say in a youtube video that if someone pissed him off, they'd never know it. They'd just find themselves without a home, no spouse, no job, no money, ruined life, years later. I know my psychopath. I know exactly why my life is doing this. If you think you have one, the only choice you have is to wait it out and hope he gets distracted hurting someone else. I think maybe we just have more psychopaths and more corruption than ever?
Look at Christine Collins (The real woman "Changeling: was about). She was living a normal life until her son was kidnapped. Then a little boy wanted a free trip to where she was, lied to a corrupt police department and when she said it wasn't her son and ruined their spotlight opportunity, she was lead through a nightmare of corrupt cops, corrupt doctors, an entire corrupt psychiatry/psychology unit filled with other women who had proof of police brutality and police crimes... and in the end wouldn't you believe you were a targeted individual if you were her? She only got out because of the preacher and his friend who were trying to expose the police department were willing to fight for her, and because her story ended up the paper.
The worst part is, the more complicated the stalking, and the longer it goes on, the less you'll be believed because even though it's almost never true, Occams Razor is treated like gospel. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Easier to believe God did it than learn science.
Mental illness also exists. For those suffering like that, I hope things get better.
But I'd hate for the post to die because it's easier to say someone's crazy.
