• Abstract summary: We provide a review of the main approaches for adversarial attacks and defenses in the context of social media applications. In detail, we cover on six key applications, namely (i) rumors detection, (ii) satires detection, (iii) clickbait & spams identification, (iv) hate speech detection, (v)misinformation detection, and (vi) sentiment analysis.

• Abstract: The growing use of social media has led to the development of several Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing(NLP) tools to process the unprecedented amount of social media content to make actionable decisions. However, these MLand NLP algorithms have been widely shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. These vulnerabilities allow adversaries to launch a diversified set of adversarial attacks on these algorithms in different applications of social media text processing. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the main approaches for adversarial attacks and defenses in the context of social media applications with a particular focus on key challenges and future research directions. In detail, we cover literature on six key applications, namely (i) rumors detection, (ii) satires detection, (iii) clickbait & spams identification, (iv) hate speech detection, (v)misinformation detection, and (vi) sentiment analysis. We then highlight the concurrent and anticipated future research questions and provide recommendations and directions for future work.

  Online grooming (OG) is a prevalent threat facing predominately children online, with groomers using deceptive methods to prey on the vulnerability of children on social media/messaging platforms. Existing solutions focus on the signature analysis of child abuse media, which does not effectively address real-time OG detection. This paper proposes that OG attacks are complex, requiring the identification of specific communication patterns between adults and children.

  This paper highlights the developing need for quantitative modes for capturing and monitoring malicious communication in social media. There has been a deliberate "weaponization" of messaging through the use of social networks including by politically oriented entities both state sponsored and privately run. Despite attempts to introduce moderation on major platforms like Facebook and X/Twitter, there are now established alternative social networks that offer completely unmoderated spaces.
