Facebook, more than 83 million questionable profiles.The poisoned networks

A year ago I began to formalize some ideas on a concept of great relevance today, the social network poisoning. I am the person who coined the term, proposing the scientific community with some colleagues. Fake accounts can be used for the following scopes as I described in my Social Network Poisoning definition.

Simulation of identity, creating a false profile, which does not correspond to any existing person, for malicious purposes or simply to remain anonymous.”]
