Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, facilitate cross-platform content muting. Methods include detecting a request from a user to remove, from a user interface, a media item that is provided by a first content source and presented on a first platform. One or more tags that represent the media item are determined. These tags, which indicate that the user removed the media item represented by the one or more tags from presentation on the first platform, are stored in a storage device. Subsequently, content provided by a second content source (different from the first content source) on a second platform (different from the first platform) is prevented from being presented. This content is prevented from being presented based on a tag representing the content matching the one or more tags stored in the storage device.
