lmfao what the fuck

i would never have expected a MUSIC PLAYER to have this kind of warning

tech companies you have officially outdone even my wildest predictions

harm related keywords in song titles (such as Attribute Mutilation by TornadicPolarity) are not uncommon

what a pointless feature

link is to https://learn.appleservices.apple/here-to-help-en-gb

(i dont use apple music much, just checking whether a song is available to play on family homepod)

searching Apple Music for "attribute mutilation" and theres a little warning at the top of the search saying "If you or someone you know needs help, support is available. Find Resources (link)" (theres also no results because that song isnt on apple music)

It's there to stop the serial murderer who searches "Lofi tunes to mutilate / kill to"

    "look we care! now you can't sue if something happens!"

    That's what I'm picking up between the lines anyway...

    Typical corpo behavior. Pretend to care in the front, support fascism in the back.

    Speaking of pretending to care: just saw an episode of a TV show with the obligatory "are you thinking of self harming" thing with a phone number and link and noticed something seemingly innocuous but actually truly heinous:

    "Call and data rates may apply"

    That's a potential paywalling of self harm and suicide hotlines! Talk about profiting off of misery!

    I'm curious, does it do the same thing for Wave of Mutilation?

    Have they never heard of Cannibal Corpse? Titles such as 'eaten back to life', 'fucked with a knife' and 'meathook sodomy' sure trigger the same warning ?

    I got the same for searching for Suicidal Tendencies recently

    I actually think this is a decent feature. Listening to the right song at the wrong time could push someone over the edge.
