Abstract
A system and method for selectively delaying social content sharing within social networks are disclosed. In an online social network, content sharing settings provide a time period for which sharing of content of a content type or provided through an online channel is to be disabled. When content of the content type is received for sharing with one or more users, the content is not shared with the users until the time period is expired or the disabling of the sharing is overridden.
