Create an Explicit Content Sub URL for Firewalls to Block

I am the technology director for a public school. Like many of my colleagues, we were forced to block Spotify and many other music streaming platforms for our students last year when we discovered some of them accessing adult content on your platform on school devices. I was wondering if your engineers could create a specific sub URL that we could just add to our Firewall that would block out the adult content while still allowing our students to enjoy the music on your platform. 


It looks like parents can block it now with specific settings on their end, but I couldn't find any information on any firewall settings for specific explicit content. This would be a game changer for schools if we had the ability to regulate the content with our firewalls and filters. 


I recently did Internet Safety presentations for all of our high school students, and I promised them that I would at least look into this. They love listening to Spotify while studying, and I would love to be able to allow Spotify on our network again.
