The propagation of a rumor (unverified information) on a social network is subject to several factors mainly related to the content of this information and especially to the behaviors (profiles) of the actors on this network that retransmit. This state of affairs may vary this propagation as the case may be, and this is what we call the depth of the rumor. This project is tackling this problem. From a real case of the spread of a rumor on Twitter, this contribution proposes an academic approach to quantify the depth of a rumor on social networks and this, for use and interpretation, by specialists concerned by the nature of this information and its auditor.
