Hey Gibsonsecurity,
Just wondering about Snapchat's claim to have 70% users.
Could they have possibly run the names of users through a gender DB to get a rough percentage?
- gibsonsecurity 13y agoWe thought about that, and it would be pretty misleading. If they did find out data that way, they should really tell people how inaccurate it can be.

- datapolitical 13y agoWhy not just take a random sample of 5000 users and look at their snaps to determine if they're male or female? You won't be exact but you'll know if it's 70% women instead of 50%.
- gibsonsecurity 13y agoObvious privacy reasons that would probably get Snapchat sued, but otherwise, yes that would probably work.
