US Patent 10560841 Facilitating anonymized communication sessions

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for facilitating anonymized communication sessions. An anonymized communication platform receives a request to initiate an anonymized communication session between a first user and a second user of an online service. The anonymized communication platform selects, from a set of available proxy contact identifiers, a first proxy contact identifier for the first user, and a second proxy contact identifier for the second user, and generates an anonymized communication record for the anonymized communication session that indicates that that the first proxy contact identifier is assigned to the first user and the second proxy contact identifier is assigned to the second user. The anonymized communication platform causes the first proxy contact identifier and the second proxy contact identifiers to be provided to the first and second users.
