Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a post to be published via a social networking system. A privacy schedule for modifying a privacy setting associated with the post can be determined. A trigger to modify the privacy setting associated with the post can be detected. The privacy setting can be modified based on the privacy schedule when the trigger is detected.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing system, a post to be published via a social networking system;
- determining, by the computing system, a privacy schedule for modifying a privacy setting associated with the post, wherein the privacy schedule specifies one or more modifications to be applied to the privacy setting for the post upon detecting at least one trigger;
- detecting, by the computing system, a trigger to modify the privacy setting associated with the post;
- and
- modifying, by the computing system, the privacy setting based on the privacy schedule when the trigger is detected.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
- identifying a post to be published via a social networking system;
- determining a privacy schedule for modifying a privacy setting associated with the post, wherein the privacy schedule specifies one or more modifications to be applied to the privacy setting for the post upon detecting at least one trigger;
- detecting a trigger to modify the privacy setting associated with the post;
- and
- modifying the privacy setting based on the privacy schedule when the trigger is detected.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- identifying a post to be published via a social networking system;
- determining a privacy schedule for modifying a privacy setting associated with the post, wherein the privacy schedule specifies one or more modifications to be applied to the privacy setting for the post upon detecting at least one trigger;
- detecting a trigger to modify the privacy setting associated with the post;
- and
- modifying the privacy setting based on the privacy schedule when the trigger is detected.
