In contrast, a forum-oriented social media site is structured in separate forums. This type of site includes Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Plurk, and Sina Weibo. The user may express his/her moods, feelings, or opinions on his/her site. The user usually owns a personal main page where he/she would provide personal information, such as his/her birthday, education status, work experience, and hobbies. The structure of an individual-oriented social media site is based on a user. Two types of social media sites exist, namely, individual-oriented social media sites and forum-oriented social media sites. Social media sites fulfill the human need for communication. A person may post varied types of posts on social media sites and interact with others.
SiMAIM also outperformed the compared methods by 6–38% in F1 score.Īn increasing number of people rely on the Internet in their daily lives. SiMAIM achieved F1 scores between 0.6 and 0.9 on identifying sockpuppets and puppetmasters under different datasets and settings. We used Mobile01, Taiwan's most popular forum-oriented social media site, to validate SiMAIM’s performance. This paper proposes a Single-site Multiple Accounts Identification Model ( SiMAIM) framework to address this research gap. The identification of sockpuppets on a single forum-oriented social media site has seldom been addressed. Identifying sockpuppets is a critical step in stopping the above-mentioned malicious acts. This phenomenon is even more evident on forum-oriented social media sites. However, with this has come the phenomenon of a single user registering multiple accounts ( sockpuppets) to advertise, spam, or cause controversy on social media sites, where the user is called the puppetmaster. With the Internet becoming indispensable in our lives, social media has become an integral part of our lives.
