Highly Sexualized Content Being Displayed to Kids

zimick — Mon, 15 May 2023 20:30:37 GMT

There is highly sexualized content being displayed to my kids that I am unable to hide/remove being shown on the "homepage" under the title "Can I get more thrills?" This is not related to anything we have listened to in our Spotify account (not recommendations - just random explicit content thrown in the mix).

This is the *same issue* posted by other users as early as 2021 - with the *same episodes* being promoted. (Reference to another post with the same issue: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Content-Questions/Why-is-my-recommended-this-seriously/m-p/5234924)

This is an obvious bug in the system, as it is still showing the same old content to people with unrelated listening habits for two years.

This needs to be resolved immediately unless Spotify is okay with displaying sexualized content to kids.

I wanted to make a similar post, but i will post it here.

Today it shows a row of Sexual Education podcasts on my homepage. I'm not interested in this content. Please add an option on my homepage so i can hide/show such content.

This issue is on my desktop app. I don't see this content in my mobile app.

Edit: 7 hours later, it's gone now.

Thanks.

You call this highly sexualized?

Agreed. This content should not be randomly suggested. I'm OK being suggested Jazz and different genres of music but not this. Kids use this. FIX THIS SPOTIFY!
