The streaming platform now wants access to pictures, contact phone numbers, and sensor data stored on the user's smartphone - as well as permission to view social media activity.
Spotify said the changes would help it "tailor improved user experience".

My barber showed me the app on his iPhone and it is kind of cool. Here is the article from a website I found:
The app brings a new term to social media called a ‘Knock’. A ‘Knock” allows a user to establish live visual communication with a friend in order to share streaming video. Facebook Connect is integrated into Knocking Live Video which allows ‘Knock’ stories to be published to a user’s Facebook page allowing you to further expand your social network. The application is available for free to the first 50,000 users through the iTunes App Store under the social networking category.

Open video filters or use YouTube Kids applications can reduce inappropriate content for children when watching YouTube. You can customize content you see in the YouTube Kids app by signing into the app and blocking videos or channels you don’t want your child to watch.YouTube is an amazing place to find interesting content.
No matter what your taste is, there is a channel for you on YouTube. However, more often than not, Youtube can be unsafe for your children.**To limit young children from touching sensitive content, users can activate "Restricted Mode". At this time, YouTube will "hide videos that may contain inappropriate content flagged by users and other signs".*
When you log into YouTube account then go to Settings on the left menu bar. Scrolling down the page, see Restricted Mode. Enable this option and click Save to activate the filter. .On phones and tablets, users can apply YouTube Kids, a YouTube version designed by Google specifically for children. The above content is more carefully screened, optimized for young children with four cards: Program, Music, Learning and Discovery.*T
There are negative impacts on children when using YouTube so it is important to importantly, always follow the usage of smartphones and Internet of your children.
I think you can easily do it with the help of your ISP. You just buy a certain package. But I'm not sure.
Also, you will need to limit VPN access, in case you have VPN at all.
Hello,
I would like to present you a new exciting application I have developed to let users share their photos and videos without storing them on a any cloud server.
Sharing is secure and end-to-end encrypted between mobile terminals, and is done only from device to device (P2P) without any intermediate server. Only your friends have a copy of your photos and videos, but they cannot access them to save elsewhere (screenshot is also disabled).
You can install the application on Google Play
Poltreder, private secure phot - Apps on Google Play
Safely share your photos/videos with your friends while preserving your privacy.

Thanks for your comments or any issue report.
All the functionalities in detail:
• Poltreder lets you manage and share all the photos and videos available in the library of your mobile device (i.e. taken with the mobile camera).
• Organize your photos and videos into collections. A collection is a simple tag (see it as a folder) to group your photos and videos. You can then share the collection with your friends. This allows you to control who can view which photos or videos of your camera library.
• Your photos and videos are not saved in any cloud server, but directly transferred towards the devices of your friends. Sharing with Poltreder is fully secure and encrypted.
• Whenever you delete a photo or video from a collection, it still exists in your device, but it is automatically removed from the devices of your friends. Similarly, when deleting photos and videos permanently from your device library, they are also removed from any collection which contains them, and mostly, as well as from the devices of your friends with whom you have shared them.
• If you decide to remove a friend from accessing a collection, the collection (incl. all the photos and videos) will be also deleted from your friend's device.
• If you delete a friend, all the collections, including photos and videos, you shared with your friend will be removed from his/her device, and in turn, all the photos and videos shared by your friend will be also removed from your device.
• No need to create an account to use Poltreder. We just ask you to choose a username and an avatar: this only allows your friends to identify you easily! Account creation is done locally on your device using a process of invitations by email to link accounts between them for sharing photos and videos.
