Reader with a Cause discussion

In this book, we were floored by the levels of control and deception that characters chose to engage in around technology:

“The behaviour you’re describing -- reading your emails, going through your Internet browser history -- you describe all this as though it is commonplace, as though it is normal. It isn’t, Megan. It isn’t normal to invade someone’s privacy to that degree. It’s what is often seen as a form of emotional abuse.” (59)

Technology is simply one method that abusers will use to assert or maintain power and control over another person - we would take the quote above one step further and say that it’s a form of emotional abuse, which is a component of domestic violence.
