Geofiltering for content by location

摘要

In one embodiment, a method receives a first request from a user device for content. First geolocation information for the user device is determined. The method facilitates a determination whether the first geolocation information complies with a geographical restriction associated with the content. Then, the method receives second geolocation information provided by the user device from a media server that received a second request for the content from the user device and a token generated based on the first geolocation information complying with the geographical restriction. A determination whether the second geolocation information complies with the geographical restriction associated with the content is facilitated where the determination causes a message indicating whether to allow or deny the second request to be sent to the media server.
