Apple are just getting dirty in the music business now. They're telling their favorite journalists about Spotify's new privacy policy - like a journalist would

  "Upon opening the Spotify app up this morning, your reporter was greeted with a request to agree to the new conditions." So Apple hacked the Spotify app to pop up a message announcing the new privacy policy? On iOS, Android, or both? Either way, that's quite an extraordinary claim. I find the idea that Spotify made the change itself and that tech journalists routinely check for changes in privacy policies searching for something to write about much more plausible. So, please give some evidence that this is what happened.

    > So Apple hacked... Think you misunderstood that aspect of jamesblonde's comment. He's suggesting the journalist is pushing Apple's PR for them. It does happen, journalists often use content PR firms send them. I have no idea if it happened in this case.

  Not really. Brews is covering topics like privacy, so the updated policy and the additional permissions might have peeked his interest. http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/
