I was running fs_usage against the Spotify process in 2013. It was reading local files and sending data out to untrusted peers. It's okay that you think that is okay. I don't allow that on my machine.
- tpmx 6y agoExtraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
- mcculley 6y agoThat is not an extraordinary claim. Everybody knew that Spotify was scanning the filesystem. Some trusted that it was careful about what it uploaded. People with security concerns did not.

- NavinF 6y agoThen strace spotify and post the log to HN. It would get a lot more votes than the silly petition that this thread is about.
- mcculley 6y agoSpotify stopped doing P2P once it got big enough. I don't care what it is doing now. I already banished it from my devices and networks. Nobody needs pop music that badly.
