Abstract
An electronic device comprises one or more sensors capturing media content while the electronic device is situated at a media content capture location. A user interface receives user input requesting transmission of the media content to another electronic device situated at another electronic device location. One or more processors determine whether the media content capture location and the another electronic device location are substantially different locations, and at least temporarily preclude, in response to the user input, the transmission of the media content to the other electronic device when the media content capture location and the another electronic device location are substantially different locations.
