Person A: Whoa, this person keeps messaging me even after I told them I’m not interested.
Person B: Sounds like theyre ethoting you. You should block them and report their account.

Example 2:

Person A: This guy keeps leaving explicit comments on my Instagram photos. It’s really creepy.
Person B: Ugh, that’s definitely ethoting behavior. You can delete those comments and restrict his access to your posts.
