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.
