Each of these social media platforms offers benefits and drawbacks, as well as security risks for our information. This project titled "Instagram Fake Account Detection using Machine Learning", employs Python as its primary tool to tackle this problem. It leverages two powerful machine learning algorithms, the Random Forest Classifier and the Decision Tree Classifier, to accomplish this task.
