1. A system for sharing media content, the system comprising:

  • a hardware-implemented receiver to;

    receive, from a first clearing device, a first indication of approval for sharing first media content from an originating device, the first indication identifying the originating device;

    receive an encrypted file, the encrypted file including the first media content encrypted using an encryption key from the originating device;

    receive, from a second clearing device, a second indication of approval for viewing the first media content, the second indication identifying a destination device;

    a hardware-implemented database to;

    store the encrypted file in the database after receipt by the receiver;

    delete the encrypted file from the database in response to the encrypted file being sent by the transmitter; and

    a hardware-implemented transmitter to;

    send the encryption key for sharing the first media content to the originating device;

    send the encryption key and the encrypted file to the second clearing device; and

    send, in response to receiving the second indication of approval, the encryption key and the encrypted file to the destination device,wherein to receive the first indication of approval for sharing the media content, the hardware-implemented receiver is to receive a hash value for the encrypted media content and wherein the hardware-implemented database is to store the hash value, andwherein the receiver is further to receive a request for sharing additional media content, the request including unknown encrypted media content, the unknown encrypted media content corresponding in similarity to the first media content using the hash value, wherein the unknown encrypted media content and the first media content are not identical; and

    wherein the hardware-implemented transmitter is to send the unknown encrypted media content to the destination device without receiving approval from the first clearing device.
