1. A computationally-implemented system, comprising:

  • (a) circuitry for intercepting a communiqué

    addressed to an end user and that has been determined to be affiliated with a source entity to prevent, at least temporarily until at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication of one or more occurrences of one or more environmental aspects associated with a communication device associated with the end user, the communiqué

    from reaching at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device associated with the end user, the circuitry for intercepting configured to prevent the communiqué

    that is addressed to the end user from reaching at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device at least in part by a diversion of the communiqué

    to one or more memories and by a withholding of the communiqué

    at least until the at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication of the one or more occurrences; and

    (b) circuitry for releasing the communiqué

    to the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device in response to the at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication of one or more occurrences of the one or more environmental aspects associated with the communication device, including at least one of;

    (1) circuitry for releasing the communiqué

    to the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device in response to at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication of the communication device having reached one or more particular points or intervals of time, including at least;

    (A) circuitry for releasing the communiqué

    to the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device in response to at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication of the communication device having reached one or more specified points or intervals of time as specified by one or more conditional directives of the end user to conditionally obfuscate the communiqué

    determined to be affiliated with the source entity;

    or(2) circuitry for releasing the communiqué

    to the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device in response to at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication that one or more third parties are not within a proximate vicinity of the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device, including at least;

    (A) circuitry for releasing the communiqué

    to the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device in response to at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication that one or more third parties are not within a proximate vicinity of the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device, the one or more third parties being one or more specified parties specified by one or more conditional directives of the end user to conditionally obfuscate the communiqué

    determined to be affiliated with the source entity; and

    wherein at least one of the circuitry for intercepting or the circuitry for releasing the communiqué

    to the at least one of a display screen or an audio output device of the communication device in response to the at least one of receipt of or calculation of an indication of one or more occurrences of the one or more environmental aspects associated with the communication device is at least partly implemented with hardware.
