Social spam is unwanted spam content appearing on social networking services, social bookmarking sites,[1] and any website with user-generated content (comments, chat, etc.). It can be manifested in many ways, including bulk messages,[2] profanity, insults, hate speech, malicious links, fraudulent reviews, fake friends, and personally identifiable information.
