SoundCloud (music streaming) blocked by Social Networks filter

Hi community,

SoundCloud (soundcloud.com) is being blocked by the Parental Controls' Social Networks filter (internalized).

I understand that SoundCloud has similarities with social networks in the sharing of comments, likes, uploading content etc. but I don't feel it belongs to the same category as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and such.

In this particular case, I have to disable the whole Social Networks filter in order to be able to listen to music with the SoundCloud app on my phone.

I would suggest that either a separate filter category of media streaming platforms be added to differentiate those from pure social networks, or that SoundCloud be removed from the Social Networks filter.

I also understand that there is always the option to manually whitelist the soundcloud.com domain, but I feel that separating media streaming platforms from traditional social networks would suit better.

Thank you all in advance for your support.

Regards,

Martin.

    I don't get blocked on web browser. I am hoping there would be another separate category for music streaming platform so it covers broad music apps, or maybe add soundcloud itself to the list of apps, just like spotify. With youtube, both youtube and music.youtube will be blocked of course. I don't know how..but implementation, whatever voted the most..
