1. Stalking can often occur at the breakup of a long friendship. As a result, there are often many arenas of "unfollowing" to be negotiated. It's easy to forget some of the places you are connected, especially if contact has not been made regularly, or only at sign-up, through that avenue.
2. "Unfollowing" can be provocative and force a stalker into covert following or push them to other extremes (remember, they're not healthy; they are stalking). Many choose not to block but ignore. It does help keep tabs on the sitation/one's safety.
3. Twenty years of tech expertise here and I find Facebook's security features far more convoluted/less straightforward than most. FB is invested in keeping your info open so that they can offer it to advertisers. Therefore, it is not in their interest to put the security features up front and make them easy for *anyone* to use, and they don't!
