Abstract:
Facebook spammers often use Facebook groups to propagate spam because every member will automatically receive a notification of the post when a new message is posted on the group’s wall. Hence, a Facebook group which is created to scatter spam is called a spamming group. Even though detection of e-mail spam or Web-based spam has been developed for a long period of time, current Facebook mechanisms still cannot efficiently remove spamming groups. In this study, we propose a new spamming group detection approach for Facebook.
