    Abstract: A system for performing user-initiated content modification includes a computing platform having processing hardware and a system memory storing a software code. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive a request to perform a modification to content, determine, in response to the request, whether the modification is permissible or impermissible, and when the modification is determined to be impermissible, deny the request. When the modification is determined to be permissible, the processing hardware is configured to further execute the software code to obtain the content, obtain or produce alternate content for use in modifying the content per the request, and perform the modification to the content, using the alternate content, to provide modified content.
