• and
• periodically providing received tracked sponsored content data to other machines;
• and
• terminating a portion of a sponsored content campaign based on a comparison of (1) the sponsored content event data as received from the database corresponding to the sponsored content campaign and (2) an estimation of received tracked sponsored content event data received at the database from the other machines to (3) termination criterion of the sponsored content campaign.

A system comprising:

• hardware processors;
• a database communicatively coupled to the one or more hardware processors, the database configured data corresponding to a sponsored content campaign of a social network, the sponsored content campaign having a campaign termination criterion, the one or more hardware processors respectively configured to implement a portion of the sponsored content campaign;
• one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more hardware processors, the one or more memories including instructions stored thereon that;
• when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• providing, by a hardware processor of the hardware processors, tracked sponsored content event data to the database;
• terminating the portion of the sponsored content campaign implemented on a corresponding one of the hardware processors based on a comparison of a combination of (1) the sponsored content event data as received from the database corresponding to the sponsored content campaign and (2) an estimation of sponsored content event data received at the database from other hardware processors of the hardware processors to (3) the termination criterion.
