“Did partners get access to messages?
Yes. But people had to explicitly sign in to Facebook first to use a partner’s messaging feature. Take Spotify for example. After signing in to your Facebook account in Spotify’s desktop app, you could then send and receive messages without ever leaving the app.”
Does anyone have a screenshot or remember what the opt in UX was like this for this? I have been logged in to Spotify via Facebook since basically the very beginning. I worked in tech as a dev, PM, and designer of flows. I never had the understanding that my Facebook connect with Spotify gave them read/write to all my messages. It’s certainly possible that this permission was requested in an auth form that I quickly granted without realizing, which would make this more of a dubious product decision that blatantly unethical. Anyone have info?
