Digital payload sharing protection

A computing device, comprising:

• a network interface communicatively coupling the computing device to one or more remote computing devices;
• a storage controller configured to access a plurality of network-sharable digital payloads, each of the plurality of digital payloads associated with a plurality of access tags including one or more content tags and one or more context tags;
• a sharing tool configured to share, with a recipient computing device of the one or more remote computing devices via the network interface, a selected digital payload from the plurality of digital payloads;
• and
• a protection service configured to automatically control sharing of the selected digital payload with the recipient computing device based on determining that a prospective recipient associated with the recipient computing device has a category designation selected from a plurality of different category designations that is inconsistent with one or both of a context category indicated by the one or more context tags and a content category indicated by the one or more content tags.

• a contact service configured to recognize one or more tags associated with the prospective recipient as indicating one or both of a work designation and a personal designation;
• and
• a protection service configured to automatically control sharing of the selected digital payload with the recipient computing device based on determining that a prospective recipient associated with the recipient computing device has a work designation or a personal designation that is inconsistent with one or more of a context indicated by the one or more context tags, a content indicated by the one or more content tags, and a sending context.
