- compare the timeframe to a time threshold;
- and
- based on said comparing, determine whether or not to perform a responsive action, wherein the responsive action comprises blocking a functionality that is associated with the content card or releasing a previously set blockage of the functionality.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium retaining program instructions, which program instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to:
- obtain a timeframe measuring a time since a content switch of a carousel widget, wherein the carousel widget displays a content card to a user, wherein the content switch comprises switching a first content card with the content card;
- compare the timeframe to a time threshold;
- and
