Also in today’s announcement, Apple introduced a new section called “Podcasts by Language,” allowing users in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia to more easily find podcasts based on language, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
It seems silly that they have so few languages available in the Podcasts by Language section.
Even if they just processed the associated text of their podcasts with NLLanguageRecognizer to get a likely classification that users could search for for likely hits it seems like it would be better than what they have now.
The child in that case is not the user (or at least not the owner). The user is the parent who configures the phone as they choose and loans it to the child. It’s no different than Apple allowing a business to configure a MacBook as they choose, including tools to monitor its usage, and then offering that computer to one of their employees. The owner of the device gets to choose the privacy settings, not necessarily the end user.
