  • receiving, from a user device, requests for resources;

    for each of the requests, determining whether the user device is currently subject to a data constraint for receiving data responsive to the request;

    for each request for which the user device is determined not to be subject to the data constraint, providing a resource responsive to the request in an unrestricted data form; and

    for each request for which the user device is determined to be subject to the data constraint, providing data that causes the user device to display a prompt to choose whether a resource responsive to the request is to be provided in the unrestricted data form or a restricted data form;

    wherein;

    a resource provided in an unrestricted data form has a first data size and provided in a restricted data form has a second data size that is less than the first data size, and when a resource is provided in restricted data form only textual data of the resource is provided and the providing of non-textual data of the resource is precluded;
