Abstract: Techniques for identifying a trigger associated with a recommendation to modify settings associated with a user account of a social networking system, and providing a recommendation to a user to review and/or modify the settings are described herein. The settings may include settings associated with other users commenting on data published by the user via the social networking system (e.g., posts published by the user), tagging or mentioning the user in a post, sending a direct message to the user, and/or the like. That is, the social networking system may be configured to identify a triggering event (e.g., trigger) associated with interactions with the user account, and to provide a recommendation for the user to review and/or modify one or more settings associated with the user account based on the interactions, such as to improve an overall user experience with the social networking system.

Abstract: Techniques are described that allow a user to control and/or restrict dissemination of content by other users related to an account of the user. For example, a request may be received, from a first user account, to restrict presentation of content having a characteristic and received from a second user account. An item of content having the characteristic may be received from the second user account. A first instruction to present a first representation of the item of content is sent to a first computing device associated with the first user account and based at least in part on the request to restrict presentation. A second instruction to present a second representation of the item of content is sent to a second computing device associated with the second user account, the second representation of the item of content being different than the first representation of the item of content.

Abstract: Techniques are described that determine when content to be shared by a user may be offensive, and providing the user with a notification that the content may be offensive. In some examples, the user may be provided with a notification that includes a selectable option allowing the user to withdraw or undo the content from being shared, additional information regarding why the content was determined to be offensive, content sharing guidelines, and/or advice for how to revise the content to be less offensive. In some examples, the notification may be presented for a predetermined period of time, and the content may be held in a pending state and not shared with other users until expiration of the predetermined period.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of the disclosure include systems and methods that generate and utilize digital visual codes in electronic payment transactions. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods generate digital visual codes that embed information regarding a user account of a payor (i.e., a user account of the payor within a social networking system). In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods display the digital visual codes via a payor computing device, scan the digital visual codes via a payee computing device, and send an identifier of the payor to the social networking system based on scanning the digital visual codes. The social networking system then utilizes the identifier to identify the payor, send and receive confirmation from the payor, and finalize the payment transaction between the payor and the payee.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for improving a user experience for performing transactions between potential buyers and sellers online via real-time communications. For example, a social marketplace system enables a potential buyer to initiate a real-time communication with a seller without the potential buyer having to provide contextual information regarding the item to the seller. In one or more embodiments, the social marketplace system provides a banner, in connection with the real-time communication, populated with structured data associated with the item that the potential buyer and the seller are discussing.
