Fast unfolding of communities in large networks: 15 years later
The Louvain method was proposed 15 years ago as a heuristic method for the fast detection of communities in large networks. During this period, it has emerged as one of the most popular methods for community detection: the task of partitioning vertices of a network into dense groups, usually called communities or clusters. Here, after a short introduction to the method, we give an overview of the different generalizations, modifications and improvements that have been proposed in the literature, and also survey the quality functions, beyond modularity, for which it has been implemented. Finally, we conclude with a discussion on the limitations of the method and perspectives for future research.

The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content.
