Coordinated Behavior on Social Media in 2019 UK General Election

Understand

Coordinated online behaviors are an essential part of information and influence operations, as they allow a more effective disinformation's spread.

• Most studies on coordinated behaviors involved manual investigations, and the few existing computational approaches make bold assumptions or oversimplify the problem to make it tractable.
• Here, we propose a new network-based framework for uncovering and studying coordinated behaviors on social media.
• Our research extends existing systems and goes beyond limiting binary classifications of coordinated and uncoordinated behaviors.
