A Stochastic Model for Estimating the Number of Offenders and Targets on Snapchat Platform

Vasyl Pihur

Snapchat, like many other social platforms, provides mechanisms for its users to report content and private/public interactions that violate their sense of safety and decency. From our experience and common sense, we can safely assume that not everybody makes an effort to report, leaving potentially a large number of offending users and content unnoticed. The goal of this work is to directly estimate the probability of someone reporting on Snapchat using current in-app reporting options and, thereby, to provide estimates of the total prevalence (count) of offenders and users subjected to their unwanted, unwelcome or unsafe interactions.
