I was recently in Beijing and noticed when posting on Instagram many bot accounts posting "Shame on Hong Kong" in Chinese.
This is a Facebook problem too. If you work at facebook please help!
- 29_29 7y agoYou could probably still view these using any geotag of a major Chinese city.
- bertil 7y agoFlag all the accounts that seem suspicious. The more signal, the easier for Threat Intelligence to identify them.
- 29_29 7y agoI did, but I feel like this could be solved with machine learning.
- alephnan 7y agoSeems like flagging the accounts should, in theory, feed back as data points into their machine learning models?
- jimbokun 7y agoThat is how supervised machine learning works. Give it know examples, and it extrapolates to identify other instances in new data.
- lucb1e 7y agoFlagging bot accounts does not strike me as something a computer would be able to do. If they notice that the machine learned to recognize keywords, they'll use different ones; if they notice it recognizes IP addresses, they'll use different ones; etc. It seems very similar to spam classification to me.
