Alexa inappropriate songs

I have just discovered that Amazon have changed Alexa, so if you ask for one song, it then plays a whole selection that you haven't straight after. There's no way to turn off the new feature unless you pay loadsamoney every month. I had no idea about it until just now.

I'm visiting my daughter and looking after a couple of young grandkids. One of them asked for "Princess Peach" by Jack Black and was really getting into it. Alexa then played "Fuck Her Gently" immediately after.

I'm used to paying attention that the right song is chosen when Alexa interprets their childish version of a song title, but once the expected track comes on, I relax, thinking that's it. But no, any old porn can get played straight after.

That's not ok.

Alexa really isn't as intelligent as she thinks she is 😂

I do love 'Fuck her gently', but it's not appropriate for little ones!

It's not mandatory to have an Alexa. I don't have one because my kids would argue so much over it and the songs would change CONSTANTLY!

You can be an explicit filter on it. Can't remember how as I did it ages ago

(After we enjoyed a song where the only lyrics was Fuck)

You can set it to only play pg songs I'm sure. I have mine set to that as I dont like swearing in songs
