Computer ecosystem providing a process for determining trust in content sharing

摘要

A user can assign a level of trust to other users to manage what content they may access or share. The user also assigns to each level of trust content type that may be accessed by users having that level of trust. The user then sends tags to his contacts indicating their level if trust, which are then presented by the contacts to gain access to the user-defined content.
