[Other] Explicit Content - Why was "report explicit content" disabled?

[jrasmussen132]

Sorry if this has been asked, but I could not find it in the Community page, nor can I find a place to contact Spotify directly.

I am continuously finding songs with explicit language (I use the web player mostly), and there used to be an option on the ellipsis to report explicit content.  That option seems to have been removed, and I didn't see any action from it while it was there (that is, I reported songs, and the label was never added).  I see Spotify's line is that they can't label everything because it depends on the data they receive, but I don't see why they can't listen to user suggestions or use a bot to listen to lyrics because clearly there is something wrong with whatever process they currently use.

How can I report explicit songs?

Agreed. If Spotify removed this option because only the producer can mark as Explicit, then at least let me mark it as explicit for ME so that it doesn't ever show up for me again, and Spotify's machine learning algorithm figures out more what I like/don't like.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your posts!

We understand that the current explicit content filter is not perfect, but the development teams are working on improving this.

We don't have official information on exactly why the 'Report explicit content' option was removed. 

You can still report hateful or offensive content through the support page here.

Here you can read more about explicit content.

Hope this info helps.
