So domestic abusers use computers now? What do they do, hit their spouse over
the head with them?

They monitor their spouses.

They can only monitor their spouse if they spouse writes something to be
monitored. Perhaps spouse should get a brain.

There's also spyware. This attitude of "stupid victims" really annoys
me. Are you stupid for being a victim of delayed trains?

Many people today have their support networks tied almost inextricably
to Facebook (and to some extent Facebook-alikes). Cutting themselves off
from that isn't an option.

Oh BS. If thats really the case they need to get a life and probably have
more to worry about that people abusing them.

The people in question aren't allowed "a life" (in the outside world) by
their spouses. That's the whole problem.

I'm sure you'd say they should run away, but there are significant
social and economic restraints.

ps It's quite interesting to see you trotting out the classic redneck
responses, by the way. Makes me even more sure it's attitudes like yours
which need to be addressed.

Anyone whose life depends on social media is a loser.

Not if you are in effect under house arrest.

I have zero sympathy.

That's obvious. Why don't you just offer to push them under a train?

If you think thats a redneck attitude then that makes a lot of rednecks
in the UK.

Many wrongs doesn't make a right.
