1. A method to facilitate programmatic prioritization of marked media content for display based on aggregated user feedback, comprising:

  • broadcasting one or more media streams to one or more remote devices, wherein the remote devices are configured to receive user feedback related to the one or more media streams, wherein the remote devices are configured to display a media stream on a display device coupled to the respective remote device;

    aggregating, based on a predefined aggregation criterion, user feedback received from a first set of the remote devices related to a first media stream, wherein the user feedback is provided by at least one user through the set of remote devices, wherein the user feedback comprises tagging a content of the first media stream as inappropriate; and

    upon determining that the aggregated user feedback of the first media stream exceeds a predefined threshold for the predefined aggregation criterion;

    marking the first media stream based on the predefined aggregation criterion;

    sending the marked first media stream to at least a first remote device of the one or more remote devices, wherein the first remote device is displaying the first media stream and is not part of the first set of remote devices;

    wherein the marked first media stream, upon receipt by the first remote device, causes the first remote device to perform a predefined operation to restrict display of the marked first media stream on the display device.
