An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for filtering third-party generated content in a social network. The method may involve receiving a request to view third-party generated content in a social network. The method may involve determining the group permissions that are set by the user for one or more groups. The user may define group membership. The group permissions define the access privileges to the third-party generated content. The method may also involve filtering the third-party generated content according to the group permissions such that the third-party generated content is filtered prior to its presentation to the requesting third-party user. As a result, certain third-party generated content may be hidden from certain third-party users. In certain embodiments, the user can set individual permissions governing access to the third-party generated content. In addition, filtering of third-party generated content may involve precedence of individual permissions over group permissions and precedence of the most restrictive group permissions when the requesting third-party is a member of numerous groups.
