Abstract

Technology is disclosed for selecting at least one people highlight, with respect to a person of interest, to be shown on one or more user devices. The user device is monitored to determine a user interest in a person of interest. A set of possible people highlights, with respect to the person of interest is determined. A determination is made as to whether any of the possible people highlights should be suppressed and not presented to the user on the user device. Any people highlights that were determined to be people highlights that should be suppressed and not presented are removed to create a remaining set of possible people highlights. At least one of the remaining set of possible people highlights are presented on the user device.
