US Patent 9262596 Controlling access to captured media content

Systems and methods for controlling access to captured media content may involve basing a user identifier's permissions on location and/or time data associated with the user identifier. The location data may be indicative of one or more geographical locations at which a user device associated with the user identifier was, or is, located. In some cases, the permissions of the user identifier may be based in part on a comparison between the location data associated with the user identifier and data indicative of where and/or when the media content was captured.
