Abstract
Systems and methods for creating and maintaining digital privacy controls may include (1) providing a composition-creation interface that enables a user to create a social media composition, (2) additionally providing a privacy-settings interface that enables the user to select an audience for the social media composition, (3) displaying, within the privacy-settings interface, a slider element that may be used to select a size of the audience, where sliding the slider element in a first direction decreases a size of the audience and sliding the slider element in a second direction increases the size of the audience, and (4) configuring the size of the audience based on a position of the slider element. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing a composition-creation interface that enables a user to create a social media composition;
- additionally providing a privacy-settings interface that enables the user to select an audience for the social media composition;
- displaying, within the privacy-settings interface, a slider element that may be used to select a size of the audience, where sliding the slider element in a first direction decreases a size of the audience and sliding the slider element in a second direction increases the size of the audience;
- and
- configuring the size of the audience based on a position of the slider element.
A system comprising:
- a composition-creation module, stored in memory, that provides a composition-creation interface that enables a user to create a social media composition;
- a privacy module, stored in memory, that:
- provides a privacy-settings interface that enables the user to select an audience for the social media composition;
- and
- displays, within the privacy-settings interface, a slider element that may be used to select a size of the audience, where sliding the slider element in a first direction decreases a size of the audience and sliding the slider element in a second direction increases the size of the audience;
- an audience-selection module, stored in memory, that configures the size of the audience based on a position of the slider element;
- and
- at least one physical processor configured to execute the composition-creation module, the privacy module, and the audience-selection module.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- provide a composition-creation interface that enables a user to create a social media composition;
- additionally provide a privacy-settings interface that enables the user to select an audience for the social media composition;
- display, within the privacy-settings interface, a slider element that may be used to select a size of the audience, where sliding the slider element in a first direction decreases a size of the audience and sliding the slider element in a second direction increases the size of the audience;
- and
- configure the size of the audience based on a position of the slider element.
