Are you sure it required one? It may have made it very easy to sign up with FB and very hard to sign up with email, but email has always been an option (in the U.S.)

There were even doubts about the legality of Spotify requiring an FB account in Germany: http://www.noz.de/artikel/61551360/datenschuetzer-kritisieren-musikdienst-spotify http://www.noz.de/artikel/61551360/datenschuetzer-kritisiere...
