[All Platforms] Explicit Filter

[sekuether21]

Add a button that controls whether Explicit songs are played or not.  When it is off and you're listening to an album or playlist, the explicit songs are skipped. That way you can still listen to your favorite album or playlist when more impressionable members of the family (kids / parents) are around.

I got a respnse from @SpotifyCares in less than an hour after mentioning the "eat my ass like a cupcake" reference from @mistersandman  in a post mentioned to @Eldsjal - I did not mention @SpotifyCares so he either shared it with them or they are monitoring his mentions.

My message was: Bet @Eldsjal would get an #ExplicitButton if it was his daughter that heard "eat my ass like a cupcake" @ bday party http://bit.ly/spotifynsfw

(FYI - His Twitter page has a picture of a grinning 2/3 year old girl on a swing so I figure it's his daughter)

Their pathetic response was: we don't have any new info on this suggestion, but we'll remind our developers it's a popular request /A

To which I replied: @SpotifyCares @eldsjal if you have to remind devs that 6th most requested feature is popular you should fire 'em #SpotifyNSFK #whoisboss #BS

Feels helpless. Probably just gonna cancel and forget about it.

If they're not even going to acknowledge the request/need, and indeed have marked it as solved when it isn't, see you later.

Almost 10,000 votes aren't enough??? How many will it take??

Would love to see an Explicit blocked feature.

[Uhkaja]

Please do this. This would be a great feature for a great many people, and would encourage artists and labels to post both an edited and an explicit version. 

[CuboidPilot]

To implement I would suggest adding a player control that could be removed in settings. I would also add a setting to consistently enforce or allow toggle across all devices and expose this setting to the family account manager. I would also extend the option to replace with a non-explicit version and skip if unavailable.

OK.. so here's just a few comments that are impossible to block today on your app.. let's see how well this gets blocked on your website:

Unforgettable/French Montana:

I'm gonna sip on this drink, when I'm **bleep**ed up
I should know how to pick up
I'm gonna catch the rhythm while she push up against me
Ooh, and she tipsy
I had enough convo for 24
I peep'd you from across the room
Pretty little body, dancing like GoGo, aye
But you are unforgettable
I need to get you alone
Why not?
A **bleep**ing good time, never hurt nobody
I got a little drink but it's not Bacardi....

Rockstar/ Post Malone:

Ayy, I've been **bleep**in' hoes and poppin' pillies
Man, I feel just like a rockstar (star)
Ayy, ayy, all my brothers got that gas
And they always be smokin' like a Rasta
**bleep**in' with me, call up on a Uzi
And show up, man them the shottas
When my homies pull up on your block
They make that thing go grrra-ta-ta-ta (pow, pow, pow)

Gucci Mane, I got the bag:

You get the bag and fumble it
I get the bag and flip it and tumble it (yeah)
Straight out the lot, 300 cash (cash)
And the car came with a blunt in it (yeah)
Lil mama a thot, and she got **bleep** (thot)
And she gon' **bleep** up her back (yeah)
Pull up to the spot, livin' too fast (yeah)
Droppin' the dope in the stash (yah)
In Italy, got two foreign hoes, they DM me (ooh, brr, ayy)
Drop the top when it's cold (drop top)
But you feel the heat (skrrt, yah, ayy)
Be real with me
Keep it 100, just be real with me (ayy)
Eat it up like it's a feast (whoa, eat it up)
They say the dope on fleek (yep)

Percocet pill on me (Percocet)
Ice on my neck, baby, chill with me (ice)
Them niggas that flex in the back don't say nothin'
Them niggas will kill for me

Real cool to not turn this off when sitting in living room with my 10 and 12 year old girls... sweet! oh cool.. the SPotify comunity website is so SMART to immediately bleep my whole text.. nice job guys ! Now do that on your app too

Is there any option that allows one to remove explicit content? 

[maxwinkler13]

no

[user-removed]

I agree there should be a filter button to choose whether or not you want to play explicit or radio edits. Depending on the surrounding audience (your friends, your children, your parents, your relatives, et ), you should be able to at least have the option/choice. Music should be able to be shared with as many people as possible - this helps with its reach and inclusion.
