Screened participant class notification for public networks

Screened participant classes are established that enable a communication participant notification continuum which may be utilized to facilitate appropriate notification of a particular computer facilitated communication participant's legal status and/or subject matter sensitivities to computer facilitated communication service providers and/or other communication participants. For example, a level of participant class screening may be adjusted depending on a level of trust and/or communication history with a particular communication participant. Screened participant classes may be associated with particular communication devices and/or communication device users. Once notified with a set of screened participant classes, the notified communication participant may adjust subject matter that is communicated to the notifying communication participant based on the set of screened participant classes. Such adjustment may include simple access control and subject matter filtering as well as more sophisticated participant routing based on screened participant class set compatibility.
