Systems and methods for supplementing content policy

A system for supplementing a content policy, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• a communication module, stored in the memory, that receives a request to access network content associated with a network content, in which access to the network content is provided by an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request, and the network content is an HTTP response, the network content including additional network content associated with one or more linked network contents;
• a confirmation module, stored in the memory, that confirms that the network content is associated with the content policy, the content policy being a list of pre-approved network contents;
• a policy enforcement module, stored in the memory, that applies the content policy to the additional network content associated with the one or more linked network contents, the policy enforcement module determining whether or not the additional network content can be included in the network content;
• and
• a component module, stored in the memory, that selectively allows inclusion of the additional network content within the network content based on the determination, the component module preventing inclusion of the additional network content within the HTTP response if the network content is linked to the additional network content by more than a predetermined number of referring network contents.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a program embodied thereon, the program executable by a processor in a computing device to perform a method for supplementing a content policy, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to access network content associated with a network content, the network content including additional network content associated with one or more linked network contents, the access to the network content provided by an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request and the network content is an HTTP response;
• confirming that the network content is associated with the content policy, the content policy being a list of pre-approved network content;
• based on the confirmation, selectively providing access to the network content;
• applying the content policy to the additional network content associated with the one or more linked network contents, a policy enforcement module determining whether or not the additional network content can be included in the network content;
• and
• based on the determination, selectively allowing inclusion of the additional network content within the network content and preventing inclusion of the additional network content within the HTTP response if the network content is linked to the additional network content by more than a predetermined number of referring network contents.
