We need some kind of laws.

If you pay for a service. They cannot sell your data to third party. They can personalize things for you, but your data is your data.

Everyone should be allowed to clear their app use history. That should be a law.

For someone who's been harping about how great Spotify is for years, I kinda of feel like an idiot for not realizing this side of it earlier. Of course they're going to monetize emotional data... what else would they do?

Assuming even as a paying customer one's data is mapped with FB/phone number/email/friends/profile name against a myriad of other data for advertising. As silly as this might seem, I almost feel a bit betrayed...
