Dear Nathalie,
Research on this topic is unfortunately still scarse, especially in the context of Facebook.
Here are some articles on Twitter and social bots: <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2635800> https://arxiv.org/abs/1407.5225 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2635800 <https://arxiv.org/abs/1407.5225>https://www.aaai.org/ocs/ index.php/ICWSM/ICWSM16/paper/view/13015/12793
Otherwise, to do a bit of shameless self-promotion, me and two collegues have a forthcoming article in New Media & Society entitled: Cloaked Facebook pages: Exploring fake Islamist propaganda in social media. Should be out very soon.
Best wishes, - Johan Farkas <https://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/ICWSM/ICWSM16/paper/view/13015/12793>

Dear Internet researchers,
In the frame of research on political participation online, I am looking for recent literature on fake profiles. I am especially interested in fake profiles on Facebook and Twitter, or anything related that could be relevant.
My understanding of the situation is that robots are mainly used on Twitter to create fake accounts; they're used to automatically transfer content and generate audience around certain hashtags. On Facebook however, this operation is more complex since people would beed to subscribe to the fake accounts. But, as some researchers will probably notice, my understanding of the phenomenon is very limited.
Any information and literature would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
