It's absolutely nothing like your Thunderbird analogy because Thunderbird exists to present you email but Spotify has absolutely nothing to do with messaging.
Facebook should have given Spotify the bare minimum they needed to make me an account and play me music. Anything else is gross incompetence at best.

And how did you think they were monetizing in the first place? When I read all the outrage here, it’s almost like I’m reading comments from an alternate universe where nobody knew Facebook’s business model. On top of that, I find it even more amusing that lawmakers are up in arms over this, when they were the ones who passed the Patriot Act in the first place, destroying the Bill of Rights and desecrating the Constitution.
- Angostura 8y agoI would expect them to monetise through advertising and increasing engagement on the site by using linked services to make the whole site experience richer, thus leading to more ad views. I might also expect Facebook to ask the services for some money to get their faces seen on the platform. Is that hopelessly naive?
- lozenge 8y agoSpotify wanted to provide a Facebook messaging function within the app. That's all the access was for. It isn't as if Spotify employees were rifling through, or even data mining, your messages
