Abstract

A method includes receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user of a content platform, a request to access a content item associated with a second user of the content platform. The content item is associated with an option to modify metadata for the content item responsive to the content item being accessed at the first client device. The metadata includes at least one of a title, an identification number, an author, a tag, or a popularity indicator for the content item. The method further includes determining, based on one or more permission settings associated with modifying the metadata for the content item, whether to modify the metadata for the content item in accordance with the option. The one or more permission settings are provided by a second client device of the second user of the content platform. The method further includes responsive to determining, based on at least the one or more permission settings, to modify the metadata for the content item, providing access to the content item and the modified metadata for the content item to the first client device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user of a content platform, a request to access a content item associated with a second user of the content platform, wherein the content item is associated with an option to modify metadata for the content item responsive to the content item being accessed at the first client device, wherein the metadata comprises at least one of a title, an identification number, an author, a tag, or a popularity indicator for the content item; determining, based on one or more permission settings associated with modifying the metadata for the content item, whether to modify the metadata for the content item in accordance with the option, wherein the one or more permission settings are provided by a second client device of the second user of the content platform; and responsive to determining, based on at least the one or more permission settings, to modify the metadata for the content item, providing access to the content item and the modified metadata for the content item to the first client device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from a third client device of a third user of the content platform, an indication of the option to modify the metadata for the content item responsive to the content item being accessed at the first client device; and associating the option to modify the metadata for the content item with an identifier for the first client device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the option to modify the metadata for the content item is received with the request from the first client device to access the content item associated with the second user.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein providing access to the modified metadata for the content item comprises:
transmitting, to the first client device, the metadata for the content item and an indication of the option to modify the metadata for the content item.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining to modify the metadata for the content item further comprises:
determining that a metadata modification criterion is satisfied in view of one or more metadata modification settings associated with the first client device.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to determining that the first client device has previously received access to at least one of the content item or the metadata for the content item, providing access to the content item and the metadata for the content item to the first client device, wherein the metadata is unmodified.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to providing access to the modified metadata for the content item to the first client device, receiving, from the first client device, a request to access unmodified metadata for the content item at the first client device; and providing access to the unmodified metadata for the content item to the first client device.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
updating an entry of a data structure associated with the content item to indicate that the first client device has been provided with access to the unmodified metadata for the content item.

9 . A system comprising:
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor to:
receive, from a first client device associated with a first user of a content platform, a request to access a content item associated with a second user of the content platform, wherein the content item is associated with an option to modify metadata for the content item responsive to the content item being accessed at the first client device, wherein the metadata comprises at least one of a title, an identification number, an author, a tag, or a popularity indicator for the content item;
determine, based on one or more permission settings associated with modifying the metadata for the content item, whether to modify the metadata for the content item in accordance with the option, wherein the one or more permission settings are provided by a second client device of the second user of the content platform; and
responsive to determining, based on at least the one or more permission settings, to modify the metadata for the content item, provide access to the content item and the modified metadata for the content item to the first client device.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further to:
receive, from a third client device of a third user of the content platform, an indication of the option to modify the metadata for the content item responsive to the content item being accessed at the first client device; and associate the option to modify the metadata for the content item with an identifier for the content item.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the option to modify the metadata for the content item is received with the request, from the first client device, to access the content item associated with the second user.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein to provide access to the modified metadata for the content item, the processor is to:
transmit, to the first client device, the metadata for the content item and an indication of the option to modify the metadata for the content item.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein to determine to modify the metadata for the content item, the processor is to:
determine that a metadata modification criterion is satisfied in view of one or more metadata modification settings associated with the first client device.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further to:
responsive to determining that the first client device has previously received access to at least one of the content item or the metadata for the content item, provide access to the content item and the metadata for the content item to the first client device, wherein the metadata is unmodified.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further to:
responsive to providing access to the modified metadata for the content item to the first client device, receive, from the first client device, a request to access unmodified metadata for the content item at the first client device; and provide access to the unmodified metadata for the content item to the first client device.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a processing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user of a content platform, a request to access a content item associated with a second user of the content platform, wherein the content item is associated with an option to modify metadata for the content item responsive to the content item being accessed at the first client device, wherein the metadata comprises at least one of a title, an identification number, an author, a tag, or a popularity indicator for the content item; determining, based on one or more permission settings associated with modifying the metadata for the content item, whether to modify the metadata for the content item in accordance with the option, wherein the one or more permission settings are provided by a second client device of the second user of the content platform; and responsive to determining, based on at least the one or more permission settings, to modify the metadata for the content item, providing access to the content item and the modified metadata for the content item to the first client device.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the proc
