As a paying Spotify customer in the UK I am still able to keep facebook and Spotify separate and not subjected to a forced FB login. I assume it’s going to remain that way

I thought the shift to a forced login was for free users rather than paid

I followed the link above to the 20% of Swedes considering leaving and it refers to restrictions on the free service made back in May and not related to the linkup with FB

The purpose is to track even MORE information (in which you are freely giving). There is absolutely NO SUCH THING as “privacy” on facebook as many have already mentioned. Everything on your account is still posted to your name, e-mail, etc and even if it’s private it can still be seen. I have been using this new social network called ONLYMEWORLD that is honestly the only site setting the USER first especially in regards to USER PRIVACY (they have an article on Yahoo! News) . I’m so glad that they DO NOT require a real name to join OR even an e-mail address. With even just ONE of those two things the possibilities are endless as to the infromation that can be gathered. I’m definately NOT looking forward to the changes ahead on facebook…
