Microblogs are one of a growing group of social network tools. Twitter is, at present, one of the most popular forums for microblogging in online social networks, and the fastest growing. Fifty million messages flow through servers, computers, and cell phones on a wide variety of topics exchanged daily. With this considerable volume, Twitter is a natural and obvious target for spreading spam via the messages, called tweets. The challenge is how to determine if a tweet is a spam or not, and more specifically a special category advertising pharmaceutical products. The authors look at the essential characteristics of spam tweets and what makes microblogging spam unique from email or other types of spam. They review methods and tools currently available to identify general spam tweets. Finally, this work introduces a new methodology of applying text mining and data mining techniques to generate classifiers that can be used for pharmaceutical spam detection in the context of microblogging.

Novel Technique

Online social networks (OSNs) are utilized by millions of people from the entire world to communicate with others through Facebook and Twitter. The removal of fake accounts will increase the efficiency of the protection in OSNs. The construction of the OSN model has the nodes and the links to identify the fake profiles on Twitter. This paper proposes a novel technique to detect spam profiles and the proposed classifier is to classify the profile images from the dataset. The malicious profile detection technique is used to identify the fake profiles with the concept of a Twitter crawler that implements the extraction of data from the profile. The feature set analysis has been implemented with the feature related analysis. The user behavior detection utilizes the adjacent matrix to measure the similarity values within the friend’s profiles. The multi-variant Support Vector Machine classifier is developed for efficient classification with the kernel function. The proposed technique is compared with the well-known techniques of ECRModel, ISMA and DeepLink that the detection rate is 2.5% higher than the related techniques, the computation time is 220 s lesser than the related techniques and the proposed technique has 3.1% higher accuracy.

Online Social Networks(OSNs) have mutual themes such as information sharing, person-to-person interaction and creation of shared and collaborative content.  Lots of micro blogging websites available like Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr. A standout amongst the most prominent online networking stages is Twitter. It has 313 million months to month dynamic clients which post of 500 million tweets for each day. Twitter allows users to send short text based messages with up to 140-character letters called "tweets". Enlisted clients can read and post tweets however the individuals who are unregistered can just read them. Due to the reputation it attracts the consideration of spammers for their vindictive points, for example, phishing true blue clients or spreading malevolent programming and promotes through URLs shared inside tweets, forcefully take after/unfollow valid clients and commandeer drifting subjects to draw in their consideration, proliferating obscenity. Twitter Spam has become a critical problem nowadays. By looking at the execution of an extensive variety of standard machine learning calculations, fundamentally expecting to distinguish the acceptable location execution in light of a lot of information by utilizing account-based and tweet content-based highlights.
