E0xc815: You are absolutely correct that there is no policing or filtering of podcasts. The example of having an adult joke in a podcast that was perhaps “forgivable’ but podcasts that are explicitly about porn (try searching with a few “adult’ keywords and you’ll find some) I find shocking.It’s perhaps because these music streaming sites have expanded their content too much. For my children I would prefer to have quite simply a music streaming service. I’ve told my son to not listen to any podcasts without checking with me first, but even then I will have to listen to whole thing first. Not ideal.The problem is that Deezer (and Spotify, Amazon etc.) give the possibility to filter for child friendly content but it doesn’t work. So maybe they should either not offer the filter, put warnings on it when you select it, or diasble podcasts for under 18s.
I’m afraid you are completely missing several points.Firstly, ANBODY with a Deezer profile can use the search facility. This means they can potentially access inappropriate content, on purpose or otherwise.Secondly, porn is not free speech.Thirdly, my son was innocently listening to comedy podcasts for young teenagers, as he often does, when a very adult theme came through. Despite the filter. I trust my son enough to not go looking for this and I know he is moreover a little shocked to hear such content.Fourthly, I AM AWARE of what is going on in my household. Thus my alarm, my research as to what content I could access, and then to my question on this forum!Finally, teaching your kids (or grandkids) well is great, but naivety is not. Too many parents take this approach and all too many end up seeking out inappropriate content because they are curious, and find it more shocking than what they had imagined. Certain people are also allegedly using “music” streaming sites to groom child
