Search of phony accounts on Facebook: Ukrainian case
Оleg Chertov, Taras Rudnyk, Oleksandr Palchenko · 2018
In this paper, we introduce our approach for search of phony accounts on Facebook. The concept of a phony account is fundamentally different from the well-known concept of a fake account. Our hypothesis is that phony accounts firstly try to get smashed in confidence and wait for right time to spread lies. The experimental results supported hypothesis by showing that such phony accounts were found on pages of the Ukrainian politicians.
