Abstract
Among other things, we describe data storage and data processing techniques that can be used by a computer system to enable a user of a social media platform to establish multiple user aliases. By using multiple user aliases, the user can selectively control the dissemination of information to other users. For instance, a user can establish two different user aliases on the social media platform, and use each of the user aliases to perform different social media actions. The user can use the user aliases to present different information regarding himself, publish different content, and/or interact with different groups of users.
