receiving, by the mediation server, a metric associated with a rule for filtering content items associated with the publisher;
applying, by the mediation server, the metric to a content network list associated with the publisher using the user interface to generate an updated content network list;
transmitting, by the mediation server, mediation code including the updated content network list to the publisher server,
wherein the mediation code, when executed by a user device, (i) causes the user device to control display of content items according to the updated content network list, (ii) allows the user device to flag at least one content item for modifying the updated content network list, and (iii) allows the user device to capture an image of the at least one content item responsive to flagging the at least one content item;
receiving, by the mediation server, an image of a content item flagged by the user device, the image captured by the user device;
updating, by the mediation server, the updated content network list to remove a content network providing the content item flagged by the user device to generate a further updated content network list; and
