@AdamPandora This is the second time I'm having to contact Pandora due to an obviously explicit track playing despite the explicit filter being enabled. My five-year-old likes music with a beat, and we'll let him listen to Pandora radio with his own account through a Family plan. Today, we heard a track playing on his iPad with repeated uses of the "F-word". In fact, the track in question is called "The F-Track". Last time I contacted the team about this issue, I received a response that "the content moderation team would look into it." How is it that this isn't just a very basic text-match string excluding explicit content, when Pandora even shows these explicit words in the lyrics within their system? This isn't some suggestive innuendo, or something having to do with cover art; it's literally the F-Word repeated throughout the song. It seems pretty basic to exclude tracks which lyrics are unambiguously explicit such as this one, so why isn't that happening? I'm really discouraged and disappointed, as we loved the idea of letting our young kids safely explore different musical genres and styles using Pandora Family, and have trusted that the explicit filters would be at least somewhat reliable. But given these obvious misses, my confidence in the platform has been lost. Is there any reasonable explanation for this or ways to prevent this from happening? Without such a thing, I'll be forced to find another music platform for my family with more reliable content moderation systems.
