    a content receiving device configured to receive content;

    a storage configured to store content by the content receiving device;

    a privacy setting determiner configured to determine privacy settings associated with a representation of an object contained in the received content, the representation of the object being associated with a user of an online account that is not associated with the terminal device;

    a content obfuscator configured to obfuscate at least a portion of the received content based on the privacy settings of the representation of the object contained in the received content to generate obfuscated content,wherein the content obfuscator comprises;

    a content partitioner configured to partition the received content into a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers having two or more levels of fidelity;

    a key generator configured to generate an encryption key;

    a layer encryptor configured to encrypt at least one of the plurality of layers using the generated encryption key; and

    an obfuscated content generator configured to generate the obfuscated content by combining the encrypted at least one of the plurality of layers with a remainder of the plurality of layers; and

    a transmitter configured to transmit the obfuscated content; and

    a server device, the server device comprising;

    a receiver configured to receive the obfuscated content from the transmitter of the terminal device;

    a publisher configured to publish the obfuscated content to one or more third parties, wherein the receiver is configured to receive a request to change privacy settings of the object of the received content; and

    a de-obfuscator configured to, based on the received request to change privacy settings, de-obfuscate the at least a portion of the received content to generate de-obfuscated content, wherein the publisher is configured to publish the de-obfuscated content to one or more third parties based on the received request to change privacy settings.
