Measuring the impact of spammers on e-mail and Twitter networks

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyze two large social networks extracted from business emails and Twitter.

• We show the impact of several node removal strategies, focusing on spammers.

• We test network robustness and the stability of several actor-level metrics.

• We further test the stability of semantic variables, such as language sentiment.

• We draw helpful conclusions for graph simplification purposes.
