Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable content controls to be implemented by a modem of a mobile device to ensure the controls are implemented regardless of whether an application processor of the mobile device has been rooted. In an embodiment, content controls may be implemented by a modem or list component separate from the application processor when in a subsidized content delivery mode. In an embodiment, content controls may include a whitelist and/or a blacklist of IP addresses that addresses of content requests may be compared against to filter authorized content from unauthorized content. Content requests for authorized content may be sent to the content location, while content requests for unauthorized content may be dropped. In the various embodiments, a whitelist and/or blacklist may be updated on demand and/or automatically by a whitelist/blacklist management portal.
