Fake 10-second podcasts are easily found fronts for black markets, reports say.

    I dislike that you can’t block NSFW stuff. My son found NSFW stuff on Spotify… and I had to take it off our Living Room Tv and ban him from using it for now. I think you can block accounts, but there were so many… Go ahead, search tits on Spotify… fucking wild to me it’s not moderated.

      Huh, I had never thought to search for tits on Spotify, but now I see I was wrong for not doing so.

      We gave the kids access to Spotify Kids, I think it’s ok so far.

        Yeah it was okay here too, until he hit middle school and a classmate mate told him about it …sigh…

        They don’t stay little for long, I know but I was not prepared!
