What is Community-based Harassment?
Community-based harassment is a grown-up version of school yard bullying.Multiple individuals within a community participate in the harassment and stalking of a single individual. However, rather than attack a victim physically, techniques are used to undermine a person psychologically. This can be far more damaging than a physical attack because not only is it very hard to prove, but it is extremely traumatizing for the victim. (Also known as cause stalking or gang stalking).
What sets community-based harassment apart from the related examples to the right is that the reason it takes place is often obscure to the victim. Without a solid reason for its occurrence, victims are often dismissed as delusional.
In addition, this form of harassment often leaves the target a victim of ridicule among friends and family because of the subtle nature of the attacks, which further compounds the trauma to the victim. It is emotionally draining and isolating to the victims because it is extremely difficult to prove, and virtually impossible to prosecute.

Along with SegFault, I call bullshit on this narrative that is being pushed. Having spent a lot of time at theintercept.com since its inception, "gang stalking" has been the primary narrative pushed on that website's comments in an attempt to derail legitimate discussion and push moderates away from a place that harbors "crazies." Another "hot word" that these personas like to use is "Zersetzung" (claims of 'touchless torture'). They like to draw off of legitimate historical parallels such as COINTELPRO, and then extrapolate those ideas and claim that they apply to endless individuals.
In my opinion, the operation is attempting to lead people to believe that ANY sort of action against the political mainstream will result in harassment, regardless of any other circumstance. The goal is to have people shut down towards taking any direct action out of fear for the repurcussions.
Obviously this claim cannot be proven, but read into NSA/GCHQ techniques of discrediting websites and their users, "gang stalking" fits perfectly:

I won't give this too much of a platform by continuing, but here is a thread on The Intercept where you can see this narrative raging in the comments:

Users such as "Torturestan," "stalked562," "Ricardo Camilo López" "Christian C Holmer" "Pat. B" and "WakeUpAmerica" have been on that website peddling their shit countless times.

I never heard of it but I know that scientologists will use a tactics like those described here against those that speak out against them. Like, they'll kill your dog in your yard one day while you're at work - no one's home to see them do it &c.
