Establishing Trusted and Timely Information Source using Social Media Services

Abstract

Social media is regarded as one of the most timely sources of information. Nevertheless, malicious users may misuse such media, and it may lead to severe incidents. Countermeasures to remove malicious user accounts and remove untrusted information need to be built. Various studies have been conducted until now. In this paper, we first provide an overview of recent work in this domain and then introduce our approach. Our preliminary experiment shows the feasibility of the research and discusses the future direction of this research.
