Methods and systems for recommending content restrictions

1. A method for automatically generating content restrictions, the method comprising:

receiving a first indication associated with a first media asset from a social network of a first user;

mapping previous indications from the social network of the first user to media characteristics;

determining that the indication matches a second indication in the mapping of previous indications;

in response to determining that the first indication matches the second indication:

identifying a media characteristic associated with the second indication;

determining whether the media characteristic is associated with a content restriction for a second user; and

in response to determining that the media characteristic is associated with the content restriction for the second user, blocking access to the first media asset by the second user.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

in response to the determining that the media characteristic is associated with the content restriction for the second user, generating for display a first interface including the first indication and a first selectable option to display an action related to the content restriction; and

in response to selection of the first selectable option, generating for display a second interface including a second selectable option to perform the action related to the content restriction.

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising identifying a correlation between the first indication from the social network with a media characteristic associated with the media asset.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the correlation includes a number of times the first indication from the social network appears with respect to the media characteristic associated with the media asset.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first indication is a specific phrase.

6. The method of claim 5 , comprising determining a historic trend between the specific phrase from the social media and a media characteristic associated with the media asset.

7. The method of claim 6 , comprising predicting, based on the historic trend, that the specific phrase from the social media is associated with the media characteristic associated with the media asset.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the action includes at least one of blocking the media asset, blocking an episode of a series including the media asset, blocking a season of a series including the media asset, blocking a series including the media asset, or canceling the action.

9. The method of claim 2 , comprising:

associating a user identification of a first user with the social network;

retrieving, from a data structure based on the user identification of the first user, a plurality of previous indications including the first indication from the social network of the first user, wherein the data structure stores indications of users and corresponding user identifications; and

analyzing the retrieved plurality of previous indications from the social network of the first user to identify mappings between previous indications and media characteristics, wherein each respective previous indication is associated with a respective media asset of a plurality of media assets, and wherein each respective mapping is identified based on determining that the respective previous indication corresponds to a media characteristic of the respective media asset.

10. The method of claim 2 , comprising:

based on determining that the first indication matches a second indication in a mapping of previous indications: analyzing previous indications from the social network of a first user to identify the mapping between the previous indications and media characteristics;

associating the media asset with a first previous indication; and

identifying a media characteristic associated with the second indication previously associated with a content restriction.

11. A system for automatically generating content restrictions, the system comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive a first indication associated with a first media asset from a social network of a first user;

map previous indications from the social network of the first user to media characteristics;

determine that the indication matches a second indication in the mapping of previous indications;

in response to determining that the first indication matches the second indication:

identify a media characteristic associated with the second indication;

determine whether the media characteristic is associated with a content restriction for a second user; and

in response to determining that the media characteristic is associated with the content restriction for the second user, block access to the first media asset by the second user.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

in response to the determining that the media characteristic is associated with the content restriction for the second user, generate for display a first interface including the first indication and a first selectable option to display an action related to the content restriction; and

in response to selection of the first selectable option, generate for display a second interface including a second selectable option to perform the action related to the content restriction.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the circuitry is configured to: identify a correlation between the first indication from the social network with a media characteristic associated with the media asset.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the correlation includes a number of times the first indication from the social network appears with respect to the media characteristic associated with the media asset.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first indication is a specific phrase.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the circuitry is configured to: determine a historic trend between the specific phrase from the social media and a media characteristic associated with the media asset.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the circuitry is configured to: predict, based on the historic trend, that the specific phrase from the social media is associated with the media characteristic associated with the media asset.

18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the action includes at least one of blocking the media asset, blocking an episode of a series including the media asset, blocking a season of a series including the media asset, blocking a series including the media asset, or canceling the action.

19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

associate a user identification of a first user with the social network;

retrieve, from a data structure based on the user identification of the first user, a plurality of previous indications including the first indication from the social network of the first user, wherein the data structure stores indications of users and corresponding user identifications; and

analyze the retrieved plurality of previous indications from the social network of the first user to identify mappings between previous indications and media characteristics, wherein each respective previous indication is associated with a respective media asset of a plurality of media assets, and wherein each respective mapping is identified based on determining that the respective previous indication corresponds to a media characteristic of the respective media asset.

20. The system of claim 12 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

based on determining that the first indication matches a second indication in a mapping of previous indications: analyze previous indications from the social network of a first user to identify the mapping between the previous indications and media characteristics;

associate the media asset with a first previous indication; and

identify a media characteristic associated with the second indication previously associated with a content restriction.
