Claim 9:
10. A system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
receive, at a user device, a first content item;
in response to receiving, at the user device, the first content item:
receive, at a server from the user device, a selection of an identifier tag for updating metadata for the first content item, the identifier tag comprises at least one of an indication of a source and indication of context of the first content item;
in response to receiving the selection for updating the metadata for the first content item, generating at the server, a confidence score for the selection, the confidence score being indicative of correctness of the selection;
receiving, from a plurality of user devices, a number of selections of the identifier tag for updating the metadata for the first content item;
increasing the confidence score based on the number of selections;
determining, based on receiving the number of selections of the identifier tag from the plurality of user devices, a confidence match threshold;
in response to determining that the confidence score is below the confidence match threshold, generating, at the server for the user device, a request for additional input for updating the metadata for the first content item; and
update, at the server, the metadata for the first content item to include the identifier tag and a link to the first content item;

receive, at the user device, a second content item;
compare the first content item and the second content item;
determine, based on comparing the first content item and the second content item, that the second content item and the first content item depict a same image;
compare metadata corresponding to the second content item and the user device;
determine, based on comparing the metadata corresponding to the second content item and the user device, that the user device has previously received the second content item as the first content item; and
in response to determining that (i) the second content item and the first content item depict the same image and (ii) the user device has previously received the second content item as the first content item, modify the second content item on the user device to include a notification indicating that the same image was previously received at the user device, wherein the notification comprises the link to the first content item.
