Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting coordinated propagation of social media content may include calculating, by a computing device, a content similarity score for each social media post in relation to other social media posts in a set of social media posts. The method may also include identifying a related subset of social media posts based on the content similarity score. Additionally, the method may include detecting one or more clusters of social media posts in the related subset by clustering social media posts based on content similarity scores and timing. Furthermore, the method may include determining that a user account associated with a social media post in a detected cluster is in a coordinated network of user accounts. Finally, the method may include performing a security action in response to determining that the user account is in the coordinated network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
