Test ID: SD-01 · Learn how scoring works
Netflix Kids profile search is fully filtered. Searching for mature titles returns only age-appropriate kids content. No mature content metadata, titles, or descriptions leak into search results.
Standard profile with TV-PG maturity restriction properly filters search. TV-MA content does not appear in search results.
Standard profile with TV-14 maturity restriction properly filters search. TV-MA content does not appear in search. Results are more diverse than Kids profile (includes crime docs within TV-14 rating) but properly excludes TV-MA titles.
Searching for 'Yellowstone' (TV-MA) on Kids profile returns 'No results were found.' Search is scoped to 'Search Kids' — completely isolated from adult catalog.
Same as TestChild7 — search scoped to Kids
TV-MA content (Yellowstone) fully discoverable via search. Detail page shows full metadata: title, artwork, RT score (83%), audience rating (76%), description, full cast (Kevin Costner, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille), TVMA rating with content descriptors (S, V, L), full episode list with descriptions. Playback blocked but metadata exposure is extensive.
Searching for 'The Boys' (TV-MA) on Kids profile returns only kids-appropriate content under 'More to explore' heading. No mature titles visible.
Same as TestChild7 — search filtering robust
TV-MA content ('The Boys', 'Gen V') fully discoverable via search. Detail pages show full metadata: title, artwork, description, cast, IMDb rating, episode list. Playback requires PIN but metadata exposure is extensive.
Lower scores are better. 0 means the platform fully blocks the attack vector. The category score shown on each card is the worst (highest) score across all profiles.
