[ELI5] Fake accounts, why is it so hard to get rid of them?

207 views

Im no software engineer so i’d like to know why do social media platforms rely mainly on user feedback/reports to get rid of fake accounts instead of software. I feel like we’re at a point where AI could be use to identify fake accounts with parameters like repetitiveness of words, number of posts per hour/day, words used, age of account, content of the account, username, etc. Why is is so hard?

Reddit already has this technology working. They’ve said as much themselves with recent updates
