Option to globally disable Discover so Children don't see inappropriate content

Can you please add an option to globally disable Discover.

Not because I don’t like it, but it’s been poorly thought out for households with children. I don’t want my 9 year old son who is very sensitive being encouraged to currently watch trailers from:

  • Watcher - As a citywide panic is brewing over a possible serial killer on the loose, Julia – a young actress who just moved to town with her husband – notices a mysterious stranger watching her from across the street.

  • On the Count of Three - Val has reached a place where he feels the only way out is to end things. But he considers himself a bit of a failure—his effectiveness lacking—so he figures he could use some help. As luck would have it, Val’s best friend, Kevin, is recovering from a failed suicide attempt, so he seems like the perfect partner for executing this double suicide plan. But before they go, they have some unfinished business to attend to.

  • The Black Phone - Finney Shaw is a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of no use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead-set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

I’m running around disabling Discovery on all of my clients after he had nightmares just looking at the cover for the Black Phone.

Can you please think about parental controls and displaying appropriate content for minors going forwards.

If you’re using managed user accounts for your kids, they shouldn’t be able to access the Discover section anyway.

Beyond that… I suppose this suggestion is what you’re looking for:

Unless I’m missing something… please comment/vote in the existing suggestion in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes.

@tom80H I can’t remember why I moved them to full accounts a few years ago, but there was a reason why.

Thanks for pointing out the other suggestion - I’ve added my vote to make 960. For it to hit 960 so quickly hopefully will see this implemented.
