In other words, to use this streaming service you have to submit your real name to a company you'd rather not want to, and stay logged in* so it can spy on your every move on the web.
* Not sure about this part. You probably lose your web spotify session if you log off facebook (?), but your desktop app session would probably not be affected.
- dlss 15y agoI think it's the opposite. It was already a paid site, so of course they have your billing info. This is the first indication they're coveting my data (at least w/o facebook connect turned on there are no recommendations to speak of on spotify)
- jonknee 15y agoIt's not a paid site, they use the freemium model. I have an account and they don't have my billing info. Millions of other people are in the same boat. (I also will never use anything that requires a Facebook login other than Facebook itself.)
- guard-of-terra 15y agoI'm not sure that paid site is guaranteed to know the payer's real name. I was under impression that most of the time, it doesn't happens. And of course giving my real name via billing to Spotify is a completely different than giving my real name to Facebook to display and use it as they see fit.
