Systems and methods for validating members of social networking groups
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for validating members of social networking groups, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- identifying a named social networking group on a social networking platform, the named social networking group comprising a plurality of members of the social networking platform;
creating a social graph of the named social networking group based at least in part on a plurality of connections on the social networking platform between a plurality of members of the named social networking group;
determining a connecting member of the named social networking group that exceeds a predetermined threshold of connections within the named social networking group on the social networking platform;
removing, based on determining that the connecting member of the named social networking group exceeds the predetermined threshold, the connecting member of the named social networking group from the social graph;
determining that a disconnected member of the social graph is not a valid member of the named social networking group, based on the disconnected member not meeting a second predetermined threshold of connections within the social graph after having removed the connecting member from the social graph.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for validating members of social networking groups may include identifying a named social networking group with a plurality of members on a social networking platform, creating a social graph of the named social networking group based at least in part on a plurality of connections on the social networking platform between a plurality of members of the named social networking group, determining a connecting member of the named social networking group that exceeds a predetermined threshold of connections within the social network group, removing the connecting member of the named social networking group from the social graph, and determining that a disconnected member of the social graph may not be a valid member of the named social networking group, based on the disconnected member not meeting a second predetermined threshold of connections within the social graph. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

10. A system for validating members of social networking groups:
-
the system comprising; an identification module programmed to identify a named social networking group on a social networking platform, the named social networking group comprising a plurality of members of the social networking platform; a creation module programmed to create a social graph of the named social networking group based at least in part on a plurality of connections on the social networking platform between a plurality of members of the named social networking group; a connection determination module programmed to determine a connecting member of the named social networking group that exceeds a predetermined threshold of connections within the named social networking group on the social networking platform; a removing module programmed to remove, based on determining that the connecting member of the named social networking group exceeds the predetermined threshold, the connecting member of the named social networking group from the social graph; a validity determination module programmed to determine that a disconnected member of the social graph is not a valid member of the named social networking group, based on the disconnected member not meeting a second predetermined threshold of connections within the social graph after having removed the connecting member from the social graph; at least one processor configured to execute the identification module, the creation module, the connection determination module, the removing module and the validity determination module. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable-storage medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
identify a named social networking group on a social networking platform, the named social networking group comprising a plurality of members of the social networking platform; create a social graph of the named social networking group based at least in part on a plurality of connections on the social networking platform between a plurality of members of the named social networking group; determine a connecting member of the named social networking group that exceeds a predetermined threshold of connections within the named social networking group on the social networking platform; remove, based on determining that the connecting member of the named social networking group exceeds the predetermined threshold, the connecting member of the named social networking group from the social graph; determine that a disconnected member of the social graph is not a valid member of the named social networking group, based on the disconnected member not meeting a second predetermined threshold of connections within the social graph after having removed the connecting member from the social graph. - View Dependent Claims (20)
