Abstract

Systems and method for alerting a user device based on a proposed anonymization of a contribution to a conversation thread via one or several location-based anonymization rules are disclosed herein. The system can include a user device that can have location-determining features that can determine a physical location of the user device; a network interface that can exchange data with a server via a communication network; and an I/O subsystem that can convert electrical signals to user-interpretable outputs in a user interface. The system can include a server that can: receive a contribution from the user device; determine an anonymization level for applying to the contribution; identify a potential identifier in the content of the contribution; anonymize the potential identifier according to the determined anonymization level; and generate and provide an alert to the user device.
