However,they also allow rapid dissemination of misinformation causing negative impacts tousers. With a source of misinformation, the longer the misinformation spreads, thegreater the number of affected users will be. Therefore, it is necessary to preventthe spread of misinformation in a specific time period. In this paper, we proposemaximizing misinformation restriction (MMR) problem with the purpose of finding aset of nodes whose removal from a social network maximizes the influence reductionfrom the source of misinformation within time and budget constraints. We demonstratethat theMMRproblem is NP-hard even in the case where the network is a rooted tree %N 4 %P 1202-1240 %V 35 %D 2018 %R doi:10.1007/s10878-018-0252-3 %L SisLab3435
