Embodiments of the present invention address delivery of content, including advertising, in an online or networked digital environment. Undesirable content or content that needs to be removed from the digital environment may be eliminated through invocation of a ‘kill switch’ that terminates further delivery of the aforementioned content. The ‘kill switch’ may also eliminate certain instantiations of that content already delivered to end-user client devices. In order to lessen the need for termination of content following delivery to the digital environment, content developers and content providers may view content scheduled for delivery in digital environment ‘mock ups’ prior to actual delivery. Content developers and content providers, too, may control certain attributes related to content scheduled for delivery to further obviate post-delivery termination or modification.

1. A method for managing ancillary content, the method comprising: receiving a control parameter concerning the ancillary content, the control parameter specifying a target classification of end-user client devices, wherein the target classification is based on at least one demographic characteristic of a user associated with an end-user client device;executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor: determines that the end-user client device in a network possesses the specified target classification,generates an instruction concerning control of the ancillary content in accordance with the control parameter; andsending the instruction to the end-user client device determined to be associated with the specified target classification, wherein execution of the instruction by a processor of the end-user client device results in control of the ancillary content in accordance with the control parameter. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the control of the ancillary content includes designating the end-user client device as unauthorized to access the ancillary content. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the ancillary content was previously delivered to the end-user client device and wherein designating the end-user client device as unauthorized includes removing the previously delivered ancillary content from a digital environment associated with the end-user client device. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the ancillary content is not present on the end-user client device and wherein designating the end-user client device as unauthorized includes denying access requests sent from the end-user client device concerning the ancillary content. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the designation of the end-user client device as unauthorized further applies to new ancillary content designated as being related to the ancillary content in the request. 6. The method of claim 2, further comprising delivering the ancillary content to one or more recipient end-user client devices in the network, wherein delivering the ancillary content includes determining that each recipient end-user client device in the network is authorized to receive the ancillary content. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the control related to the ancillary content includes a restriction on ability of the end-user client device to conduct operations involving the ancillary content. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the control related to the ancillary content includes modifying a copy of the ancillary content stored at the end-user client device. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the control parameter specifies the ancillary content by reference to a tag associated with the ancillary content. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the control of the ancillary content includes reference to one or more rules, each rule associated with at least one tag. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the control of the ancillary content includes modifying a rule associated with the tag associated with the ancillary content. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the control of the ancillary content includes modifying a copy of the ancillary content stored at the end-user client device, wherein at least part of the ancillary content is replaced with replacement ancillary content. 13. A system for managing ancillary content, the system comprising: one or more content servers, each content server hosting a store of ancillary content available to one or more end-user client devices in a network comprising a plurality of end-user client devices; anda mediation server that: receives a control parameter concerning ancillary content, the control parameter specifying a target classification of end-user client devices, wherein the target classification is based on at least one demographic characteristic of a user associated with an end-user client device,determines that the end-user client device in the network possesses the specified target classification,generates an instruction concerning control of the ancillary content in accordance with the control parameter, andsends the instruction to the end-user client device determined to be associated with the specified target classification, wherein execution of the instruction by a processor of the end-user client device results in control of the ancillary content in accordance with the control parameter. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the mediation server further: receives a request from an end-user client device in the network, the request concerning content;authenticates the end-user client device as authorized to access the requested content; anddirects the end-user client device to connect to one of the content servers hosting the requested content, wherein the requested content is made accessible to the authorized end-user client device. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the mediation server further: receives a request from an end-user client device in the network, the request concerning ancillary content hosted at one of the content servers;determines that an end-user client device in the network is not authorized to access the requested content; anddenies the request for access to the requested content. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the mediation server redirects the end-user client device to replacement ancillary content hosted by one of the content servers. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein the mediation server further responds to the control parameter by removing the specified ancillary content from the one or more content servers. 18. The system of claim 13, wherein the mediation server further responds to the control parameter by designating the end-user client device as unauthorized to access the specified ancillary content. 19. The system of claim 13, further comprising: at least one other mediation server; anda universe management server that assigns responsibilities among the mediation server and the at least one other mediation server. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the universe management server further modifies a rule enforced by one of the mediation servers. 21. The system of claim 19, the universe management server further: receives a request from an authorized entity specifying ancillary content;generates the control parameter based on the received request; andsends the control parameter to the mediation server. 22. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program, the program including instructions executable to perform a method for managing ancillary content, the method comprising: receiving a control parameter concerning the ancillary content, the control parameter specifying a target classification of end-user client devices, wherein the target classification is based on at least one demographic characteristic of a user associated with an end-user client device;determining that the end-user client device in a network possesses the specified target classification;generating an instruction concerning control of the ancillary content in accordance with the control parameter; andsending the instruction to the end-user client device determined to possess the specified target characteristic, wherein execution of the instruction by a processor of the end-user client device results in control of the ancillary content in accordance with the control parameter.
