Systems and methods for dynamically restricting the rendering of unauthorized content included in information resources

A client device, comprising:

• a display;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with memory, configured to:
• identify an information resource for rendering and displaying on the display of the client device, the information resource including a content element defining one or more graphical characteristics;
• determine that the content element corresponds to restricted content in accordance with a content detection policy based on the one or more graphical characteristics of the content element, at least in part by determining that a difference between a color value of the content element and a color value of a second content element in the information resource differs by at least a threshold, the threshold defined by the content detection policy as being associated with the restricted content;
• and
• apply, responsive to determining that the content element corresponds to the restricted content in accordance with the content detection policy, a content restriction policy to the content element to at least partially restrict display of the content element on the information resource.

A method, comprising:

• identifying, by a client device, an information resource for rendering and displaying on a display of the client device, the information resource including a content element defining one or more graphical characteristics;
• determining, by the client device, that the content element corresponds to restricted content (i) in accordance with a content detection policy based on the one or more graphical characteristics of the content element and (ii) in accordance with an action detection policy based on one or more actions performed on the information resource;
• and
• applying, by the client device responsive to determining that the content element corresponds to the restricted content in accordance with the content detection policy and in accordance with the action detection policy, a content restriction policy to the content element to at least partially restrict display of the content element on the information resource,
• wherein determining that the content element corresponds to the restricted content element in accordance with the action detection policy comprises at least one of:
• (i) detecting a command to reinsert the content element into the information resource in response to deletion of the content element;
• or
• (ii) detecting a change to one or more graphical characteristics of the content element.
