  2. Why did I choose this project? • The Intelligent Web course was my favourite course in both content and assignment tasks • I am really excited about Social Networks and would like to help improve their use • I have strong coding skills especially in the Web Technologies languages

  4. The research question • How would you go about identifying social media content that is harmful to the pervasiveness of important topics? • How could you prevent identified problem users from further polluting the social streams? • How can it be implemented in an ethical way and adaptable to various type of polluters (i.e. trolls, spammers)

  5.
