Disclosed herein are techniques for enhancing online or digital platforms by enabling them to intelligently suggest physical meeting locations to one or more users of the platforms. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting an intent of a first user to meet at a physical location based upon messages exchanged between the first user and a second user via a messaging platform, selecting a list of physical locations from a pre-configured list of physical locations based upon information associated with the first user, and causing the list of physical locations to be displayed to the first user. In response to receiving information indicating selection of a first physical location from the list of physical locations from the first user, information identifying the first physical location can be displayed to the second user for the second user to accept or reject the first physical location.

Techniques for providing meeting location suggestions

Some embodiments involve methods and systems for instant personalization security. For example, a social networking system can provide a platform for a user to open applications and/or access external websites. In some cases, an application does not have access to the user's fully identifying profile (e.g., UID or other public information). Instead, the application has access to a pseudonymous profile corresponding to a hashed ID that is generated by the platform and provided to the application. Access to the pseudonymous profile enables the application or an external website to personalize its environment without breaching the security of the platform.

Instant personalization security

A method and system for instant personalization security are provided. The system includes a platform for a user to open applications and/or access web sites. When an application is integrated with the platform, the identification of the application can be combined with the ID of the user and encrypted into a hashed ID. The application does not have access to the user's fully identifying profile (e.g., UID or other public information). Instead, the application only has access to a pseudonymous profile (e.g., the hashed ID, first name, last initial, small profile pictures, and/or other non-fully identifying profile information) of the user. One or more options are then provided for the user to authorize or reject the application to access the user's fully identifying profile. Upon the user's authorization, an access token is provided to the application to access a subset of the user's fully identifying profile.

A social networking system is configured to generate node graphs to handle specific types of customer incident reports. The node graphs comprise data structures that include nodes connected in acyclic graphs. Each node includes a node handler and optionally a user interface widget. Activating a node graph causes a subset of the nodes in the node graph to execute their node handlers. The executing node handlers generate a customer incident resolution that may include information gathering, manual review, and communications to users and third-party systems. Generation of the customer incident resolution through the node graphs allows the social networking system to handle customer incidents consistently, efficiently, and in a scalable manner.
