The article from Metro.co.uk details the harrowing experience of a woman who was subjected to coercive control by her ex-partner, who used technology to monitor and manipulate her life. Initially, their relationship seemed normal, but it quickly deteriorated as he began using tracking apps to follow her movements, installing cameras in their home, and even hacking into her social media accounts. He would send her abusive messages, dictate her daily activities, and isolate her from friends and family.
