SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTENT SHARING WITH A PEER
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to evaluate, by a computing system associated with a user, a sharing policy associated with a media content item. It is determined whether provision of the media content item to a second computing system associated with a second user is permissible under the sharing policy. The media content item is transmitted to the second computing system in a peer to peer manner when the provision is permissible under the sharing policy.
1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
evaluating, by a computing system associated with a user, a sharing policy associated with a media content item;
determining, by the computing system, whether provision of the media content item to a second computing system associated with a second user is permissible under the sharing policy; and
transmitting, by the computing system, the media content item to the second computing system in a peer to peer manner when the provision is permissible under the sharing policy.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the media content item is at least one of a video, a photo, a photo album, a web page, a text story, an audio story, and a reshare.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system is based on a local area communication protocol.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the local area communication protocol comprises at least one of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, and a wireless ad hoc network.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the media content item is downloaded by the computing system from a server associated with a social networking system and the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system does not involve the server.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
performing a scan to identify computing systems within a local area of the computing system; and
obtaining a determination of local connections of the user based on the identified computing systems and a list of connections of the user.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
prompting the user to share the media content item with the second user based on sharing data determined by a machine learning model, wherein
the second user is among the local connections, and
the sharing data relates to at least one of a determination of media content items to be shared, local connections to whom the media content items can be shared, and a time or context for sharing the media content items.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
not identifying users in an area local to the computing system when the users are not connections of the user.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system comprises:
providing the second media content item for presentation as a story in a newsfeed for the second user; and
providing the second media content item to be stored in a folder maintained by the second computing system.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sharing policy is determined by a content provider of the media content item.
11 . A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform:
evaluating, by the computing system associated with a user, a sharing policy associated with a media content item;
determining whether provision of the media content item to a second computing system associated with a second user is permissible under the sharing policy; and
transmitting the media content item to the second computing system in a peer to peer manner when the provision is permissible under the sharing policy.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the media content item is at least one of a video, a photo album, a text story, and a reshare.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system is based on a local area communication protocol.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the local area communication protocol comprises at least one of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, and a wireless ad hoc network.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the media content item is downloaded by the computing system from a server associated with a social networking system and the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system does not involve the server.
16 . 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:
evaluating, by the computing system associated with a user, a sharing policy associated with a media content item;
determining whether provision of the media content item to a second computing system associated with a second user is permissible under the sharing policy; and
transmitting the media content item to the second computing system in a peer to peer manner when the provision is permissible under the sharing policy.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the media content item is at least one of a video, a photo album, a text story, and a reshare.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system is based on a local area communication protocol.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the local area communication protocol comprises at least one of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, and a wireless ad hoc network.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the media content item is downloaded by the computing system from a server associated with a social networking system and the transmitting the media content item to the second computing system does not involve the server.
