Systems and methods for protecting sensitive information

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

providing, by a computing system, a content item provided by a first user associated with a first user device to a feed accessible by a second user associated with a second user device, wherein the content item is associated with timestamps that indicate when the content item was presented on a user interface of the second user device;

detecting, by the computing system, an event associated with generation of a copy of the content item by the second user on the second user device based on the timestamps;

determining, by the computing system, the content item is associated with sensitive information; and

modifying, by the computing system, the copy of the published content item.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the event is generation of a screenshot of athe user interface presenting the published content item.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the content item is associated with metadata indicating a presence of the sensitive information.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the metadata further indicates a location of the sensitive information in the content item.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the event comprises:

determining that the content item was presented in athe user interface at a time of the event.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

overwriting in memory the copy of the content item with the modified copy.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the event is generation of a screenshot of the user interface presenting the content item and wherein the modifying the copy of the content item comprises:

obscuring at least a portion of the screenshot.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the at least a portion of the screenshot includes the sensitive information.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

eliminating access to the copy of the content item; and

providing access to the modified copy of the content item.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying the copy of the content item is based on an opt in by the first user.

11. A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

providing a content item provided by a first user associated with a first user device to a feed accessible by a second user associated with a second user device, wherein the content item is associated with timestamps that indicate when the content item was presented on a user interface of the second user device;

detecting an event associated with generation of a copy of the content item by the second user on the second user device based on the timestamps;

determining the content item is associated with sensitive information; and

modifying the copy of the content item.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the event is generation of a screenshot of athe user interface presenting the content item.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the content item is associated with metadata indicating a presence of the sensitive information.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the metadata further indicates a location of the sensitive information in the content item.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the detecting the event comprises:

determining that the content item was presented in the user interface at a time of the event.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

providing a content item provided by a first user associated with a first user device to a feed accessible by a second user associated with a second user device, wherein the content item is associated with timestamps that indicate when the content item was presented on a user interface of the second user device;

detecting an event associated with generation of a copy of the content item by the second user on the second user device;

determining the content item is associated with sensitive information; and

modifying the copy of the content item.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the event is generation of a screenshot of the user interface presenting the content item.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the content item is associated with metadata indicating a presence of the sensitive information.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the metadata further indicates a location of the sensitive information in the content item.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the detecting the event comprises:

determining that the content item was presented in the user interface at a time of the event.
