There we are, we enter the area of values and 'good taste'.

It's easy for a tech company to say it's not their responsibility. There is a disclaimer and some 'terms and conditions' so you meet your legal obligations.

Spotify is allowed to fill kids heads with dirt, dirt which no record label would ever publish, and no kid would ever hear without streaming media.

Legally it's fine but it feels shallow and poor. I guess it's the reality of stream and social recommendation algorithms.

You misunderstand me. Everyone has different taste and cultural values. How is Spotify supposed to know what you want your kids to listen to?

Use the services they provide that are specifically intended for kids under 13.
