Method and system for real-time blocking of content from an organization activity timeline

A computing system for controlling which contributions are displayed in an organization activity timeline of an organization, the computing system comprising:

• a distributed database management system (DDMS) configured to store one or more blacklists each including at least one identifier;
• an organization activity timeline generator configured to generate the organization activity timeline for the organization, wherein the organization activity timeline is a visual component displayed within a user interface that shows activities involving a particular external contact and one or more users of the organization, wherein the organization activity timeline generator comprises:
• a real-time activity evaluator configured to ingest new activities received from data sources of the user, determine which new activities include an identifier specified by the one or more blacklists, and block at least one contribution to any new activity that is determined to include an identifier specified by the one or more blacklists so that the contribution does not appear in the organization activity timeline.

A computing system comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory comprises computer-executable instructions that are capable of execution by the processor, and that when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to:

• process new activities to determine whether each new activity includes an identifier from a blacklist;
• and
• block at least one contribution to each new activity that includes the identifier so that the contribution does not appear in an organization activity timeline of an organization, wherein the organization activity timeline is displayed within a user interface to show activities involving a particular external contact and one or more users of the organization.
