ALEJANDRO CUEVAS


Why Do People Buy YouTube Accounts?
With  Manoel Horta-Ribeiro and Nicolas Christin
Description
We measure sales of social media accounts and investigate their uses after they are sold. We find that many accounts are used for potentially illicit ends, such as political propaganda or financial scams. We then develop a technique to identify similar accounts in the wild.
