Systems and methods for trigger-based modification of privacy settings associated with posts
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.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by a computing system, a privacy schedule for a content item, the privacy schedule specifying at least:
a first audience that will be initially allowed access to the content item,
one or more criteria for modifying at least one privacy setting associated with the content item, and
a second audience that will be allowed access to the content item subsequent to the at least one privacy setting being modified,
wherein inclusion of an entity in at least one of the first audience or the second audience is based on one or more engagement signals between the entity and a posting user of the content item satisfying a threshold;
determining, by the computing system, the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting associated with the content item is satisfied; and
applying, by the computing system, a modification to the at least one privacy setting associated with the content item.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting for the content item includes at least one time-based trigger.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more criteria includes a first time-based trigger that specifies a first duration of time after which a first modification is applied to the privacy setting for the content item.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more criteria includes a second time-based trigger that specifies a second duration of time after which a second modification is applied to the privacy setting for the content item.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting for the content item includes at least one event-based trigger.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the event-based trigger corresponds to at least one of a relationship status update of the posting user of the content item, the posting user graduating from school, beginning or ending a school application period, beginning or ending a job application period, or a customized event created by the posting user.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a second number of users included in the second audience is less than a first number of users included in the first audience.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a second number of users included in the second audience is greater than a first number of users included in the first audience.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second audience is limited to the posting user of the content item.
10. 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:
determining a privacy schedule for a content item, the privacy schedule specifying at least:
a first audience that will be initially allowed access to the content item,
one or more criteria for modifying at least one privacy setting associated with the content item, and
a second audience that will be allowed access to the content item subsequent to the at least one privacy setting being modified,
wherein inclusion of an entity in at least one of the first audience or the second audience is based on one or more engagement signals between the entity and a posting user of the content item satisfying a threshold;
determining the criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting associated with the content item is satisfied; and
applying a modification to the at least one privacy setting associated with the content item.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting for the content item includes at least one time-based trigger.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more criteria includes a first time-based trigger that specifies a first duration of time after which a first modification is applied to the privacy setting for the content item.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more criteria includes a second time-based trigger that specifies a second duration of time after which a second modification is applied to the privacy setting for the content item.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting for the content item includes at least one event-based trigger.
15. 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:
determining a privacy schedule for a content item, the privacy schedule specifying at least:
a first audience that will be initially allowed access to the content item,
one or more criteria for modifying at least one privacy setting associated with the content item, and
a second audience that will be allowed access to the content item subsequent to the at least one privacy setting being modified,
wherein inclusion of an entity in at least one of the first audience or the second audience is based on one or more engagement signals between the entity and a posting user of the content item satisfying a threshold;
determining the criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting associated with the content item is satisfied; and
applying a modification to the at least one privacy setting associated with the content item.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting for the content item includes at least one time-based trigger.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more criteria includes a first time-based trigger that specifies a first duration of time after which a first modification is applied to the privacy setting for the content item.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more criteria includes a second time-based trigger that specifies a second duration of time after which a second modification is applied to the privacy setting for the content item.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more criteria for modifying the at least one privacy setting for the content item includes at least one event-based trigger.
