Social network privacy management systems and methods
A first privacy setting notification is provided to a user. Events are monitored to determine satisfaction of a privacy trigger condition based at least in part on the first privacy setting notification. A second privacy setting notification is provided to the user in response to the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition.
1 . A computer implemented method comprising:
providing, by a computing system, a first privacy setting notification to a user;
monitoring, by the computing system, events to determine satisfaction of a privacy trigger condition based at least in part on the first privacy setting notification; and providing, by the computing system, a second privacy setting notification to the user in response to the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on a threshold amount of time since provision of the first privacy setting notification to the user.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user having chosen a first privacy level for prior posts and having chosen a second privacy level for a most recent post.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user having changed a privacy level of a post to a second privacy level after the post was published with a first privacy level.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user having blocked a threshold number of friend requests over a threshold amount of time from members of a social networking system that are a threshold degree of separation from the user.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user having chosen a particular privacy level for posts for a threshold amount of time prior to a current post by the user.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on a user having chosen to proactively perform a privacy checkup to manage privacy settings relating to categories of posts.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user having not previously made a post and having not previously set privacy settings.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user having chosen to add a new cover photo associated with a page of the user on a social networking system.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on the user likely not selecting privacy levels for posts as intended.
11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition is further based at least in part on a post made by the user having appeared in a news feed of the user.
12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that a third privacy setting notification can be provided to the user based on the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition; and
selecting the second privacy setting notification instead of the third privacy setting notification for provision to the user based on a hierarchy of privacy setting notifications.
13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first privacy setting notification and the second privacy setting notification are of different types.
14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first privacy setting notification and the second privacy setting notification are of one type.
15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a selection from the user in response to the second privacy setting notification.
16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
modifying at least one privacy level for a content item based on the selection.
17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
maintaining at least one privacy level for a content item based on the selection.
18 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user is a member of a social networking system.
19 . A system comprising:
at least one processor;
a memory storing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to perform:
providing a first privacy setting notification to a user;
monitoring events to determine satisfaction of a privacy trigger condition based at least in part on the first privacy setting notification; and
providing a second privacy setting notification to the user in response to the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition.
20 . A computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computer system to perform a computer-implemented method comprising:
providing a first privacy setting notification to a user;
monitoring events to determine satisfaction of a privacy trigger condition based at least in part on the first privacy setting notification; and
providing a second privacy setting notification to the user in response to the satisfaction of the privacy trigger condition.
