Abstract

Nowadays, practically everyone, from a youngster to an adult, spends more time on online social media platforms, connecting with and exchanging information with individuals all over the world. The social network is becoming a popular means to communicate with people who live in different parts of the world. Because of the tremendous interconnectedness and information sharing enabled by the internet, social media platforms. This highlights the importance of establishing a system capable of detecting fake profiles on social media networks. There has been a lot of study done in this area utilising machine learning algorithms to identify fake profile, duplicate, spam, and bot accounts, and most of the fake profile accounts were effectively recognised using machine learning algorithms. This study discusses fake profile detection on social networks using machine learning.
