Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for concealing information of a personal profile provided by a social networking service is described. A message sent from the personal profile to a second profile provided by the social networking service is monitored. A determination is made as to whether the second profile is a commercial profile. The message is received when the second profile is a commercial profile. An avatar profile is used to publish the message anonymously to the second profile on behalf of the personal profile. A message sent from the second profile to the personal profile is intercepted when the second profile is a commercial profile. The intercepted message is analyzed with respect to at least one security filter. The message is associated with the avatar profile when the message passes the at least one security filter. The avatar profile is used to publish the message to the personal profile.
