Methods, systems, and storage media are provided for accessibility services to assist users with disabilities in using touch-based interfaces and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). A client system generates and renders a GUI of a client application that comprises one or more graphical objects. The client system operates a service to identify graphical objects that refer or link to advertisements or other third party resources. The service applies a protective measure to the identified graphical objects, which prevent user inputs (e.g., 'taps') from being accepted by the client system. The protective measure may include a distinguishing effect to visually distinguish the protective measure from other graphical objects in the GUI. The user may remove the protective measure by performing a predefined gesture. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Technologies for indicating third party content and resources on mobile devices

Methods, systems, and storage media are described for indicating deceptive or trustworthy resources are provided. A client system generates and renders a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising one or more graphical objects in a client application. The client system identifies resources corresponding to individual graphical objects. The client system communicates the identified resources to a reputation system, and obtains indicators indicating deceptive resources to be obfuscated and/or trustworthy resources to be illuminated. The client system obfuscates the deceptive resources and illuminates the trustworthy resources according to the received indicators. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Technologies for indicating deceptive and trustworthy resources

Methods, systems, and storage media for distinguishing third party resources (TPRs) with respect to first party resources (FPRs) are provided. A client system generates and renders a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising one or more graphical objects in a client application. The client system identifies resources corresponding to individual graphical objects. The client system communicates the identified resources to a verification service, and obtains indicators indicating TPRs to be distinguished from FPRs. The client system applies a distinguishing effect to the TPRs based on the received indicators. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
