"In today’s fractured online landscape, it is harder than ever to identify
harmful actors such as trolls and misinformation spreaders.

Often, efforts to spot malicious accounts focus on analysing what they say.
However, our latest research suggests we should be paying more attention to
what they do – and how they do it.

We have developed a way to identify potentially harmful online actors based
solely on their behavioural patterns – the way they interact with others –
rather than the content they share. We presented our results at the recent ACM
Web Conference, and were awarded Best Paper."
