Can I ask you why? Any company that jumps into bed with Facebook clearly thinks no more of user privacy than does Facebook. There's every reason, then, to expect Spotify to abuse user trust and user data just as Facebook has done.
Does this not bother you, even in principle? Bogus FB account or not, this kind of behavior should be rejected out of hand.
- jseliger 15y ago"Can I ask you why?" Sure! You're definitely right about jumping into bed with FB. What bothers me isn't just a cavalier attitude toward privacy—it's linking up everything I do online into one massive database trail. If company A is lousy with privacy, as are companies B and C, that's not great, but what feels worse is having all of them linking everything one does together. Also, I realize this is already happening anyway—I recently installed Ghostery after seeing a Hacker News comment about it: http://www.ghostery.com/ http://www.ghostery.com/ . At least using it allows one to fight back to some limited extent by blocking a lot of trackers, sprites, and so forth.
