Read the passage then answer the questions:
How many of the profiles you see on social media are real and how many are fake?
Probably more than you might think. The number of fake accounts is estimated to be
between five and ten percent of all social media accounts. A fake social media profile is
defined as an account which contains details which have been invented by the user or which
appear to have been created by one particular user but have actually been created by
someone else. In some cases, the posts have been put together by a bot, rather a human
being. A bot is a computer programme which completes basic tasks for the human being
which has programmed it. In this case, the bots have been programmed to post things on
social media.
Identifying fake social media posts isn‟t as easy as you might think because many of them
are very convincing. However, you can start by searching for the name of the person from
the profile online to see if you can find the same name with the same photos on other social
media sites or other websites. Then you can look more closely at the detailed information
about the person in these other places online and check this for similarities with the account
that you think might be fake. You can also look at which other people and how many other
people follow an account. This is particularly relevant in the case of profiles of famous
people or people in the public eye because you would expect the real account of this type of
person to have thousands, or even millions, of followers and for some of these followers to
be people who are active in the same area, such as politics or rock music.
