Abstract

We employ machine learning, specifically an artificial neural network, to ascertain the likelihood of a real Facebook friend request. We also describe the relevant libraries and classes. We also go over the sigmoid function and the calculation and application of the weights. Lastly, we take into account the social network page's specifications, which are crucial to the offered solution. The existence of bots and phony profiles raises additional risks to the theft of personal information. Programs known as "bots" are designed to collect user data without the user's knowledge. We call this technique "web scraping." The fact that this behavior is lawful is even worse. On social media platforms, bots can be concealed or pose as friends in order to obtain personal data.
