A Comment on "Cross-Platform Identification of Anonymous Identical Users in Multiple Social Media Networks"

The Friend Relationship-Based User Identification (FRUI) algorithm is considered to be the ideal method. However, if the seed User Matched Pairs (UMPs) were not suitable, FRUI would stop early due to Controversial UMPs. We highlight this gap and propose a minor change to make FRUI a more general identification algorithm.
