1. A method, comprising:

  • determining that received tagged content should be blocked by;

    retrieving from memory multiple fields of a preferred tag associated with preferred content that is preferred by a user profile;

    retrieving from the memory the multiple fields of a corresponding alternative tag associated with alternative content;

    setting art initial value of a score to zero;

    successively comparing each field of the multiple fields of the preferred tag to each corresponding field of the multiple fields of the corresponding alternative tag, for all of the multiple fields;

    incrementing the score by a processor when a field of the preferred tag matches a corresponding field of the alternative tag;

    comparing the score to a predetermined non-zero threshold value;

    blocking the tagged content if the score satisfies a criterion selected from the group consisting of exceeding the threshold value and failing to exceed the threshold value; and

    retrieving and causing presentation of substitute content to replace the blocked content.
