[Bug 1281640] Re: Obscene content in music search results

 

I confirm that. The Soundcloud API doesn't provide a way to filter
these, but the Amazon scope has a way to filter offensive content
(blacklisted words per locale). While this isn't an optimal solution,
I'm going to see asap if it's possible for that method (provided by the
smartscopes server) to be shared with the Soundcloud scope.

Thanks for the report, I would hate having to get that scope taken down.

Title:
  Obscene content in music search results

Status in Unity Music Lens:
  New
Status in Unity SoundCloud Scope:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Some search terms return obscene content in the dash

  To reproduce:
  1) Search for 'rhy' in the dash

  Expected results:
  Rhythmbox and other search results are returned, all of which I could show to a customer

  Actual results:
  The music scope returns offensive/obscene results, such as "WORDS MOTHERF*CKER" or "Absolute Bullsh*t" (see attached screenshot)

  I am not aware of any way to filter search results (similar to
  Google's "Safe Search"). If there is a way, it should be turned on by
  default.
