• Abstract: In the contemporary era, online social networks have become integral to social life, revolutionizing the way individuals manage their social connections. While enhancing accessibility and immediacy, these networks have concurrently given rise to challenges, notably the proliferation of fraudulent profiles and online impersonation. This paper proposes an application designed to detect and neutralize such dishonest entities, with a focus on safeguarding companies from potential fraud. The user-centric design of the application ensures accessibility for investigative agencies, particularly the criminal branch, facilitating navigation of complex social media landscapes and integration with existing investigative procedures

  The digitization of all processes and the opening to IoT devices has fostered the emergence of a new formof crime, i.e. cybercrime. The maliciousness of such attacks lies in the fact that they turn users into facilitators of cyber-attacks, to the point of being perceived as the weak link'' of cybersecurity. Knowing how to anticipate, identifying weak signals and outliers, detect early and react quickly to computer crime are therefore priority issues requiring a prevention and cooperation approach.

  We investigate the nuanced dynamics between user engagement on Web3 social platforms and the consequent privacy concerns. We scrutinize the widespread phenomenon of fabricated activities, which encompasses the establishment of bogus accounts aimed at mimicking popularity. We highlight the urgent need for more stringent privacy measures and ethical protocols to navigate the complex web of social exchanges.

  We propose a Cross-network Social User Embedding framework, namely DP-CroSUE, to learn the comprehensive representations of users in a privacy-preserving way. In particular, for each heterogeneous social network, we first introduce a hybrid differential privacy notion to capture the variation of privacy expectations for heterogeneous data types. To further enhance user embeddings, a novel cross-network GCN embedding model is designed to transfer knowledge across networks through those aligned users.

  Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse. Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes. We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.

Our results show that there is an added value when considering models that take advantage of the alternative data of the Super-App and the interactions found in their high connectivity.

  We use a social media model to quantify the impacts of several adversarial manipulation tactics on the quality of content. We find that the presence of influential accounts, a hallmark of social media, exacerbates the vulnerabilities of online communities to manipulation. These insights suggest countermeasures that platforms could employ to increase the resilience of social media users to manipulation.
