Spotify will begin to use the location of the devices to control the members of the family plans

Spotify family plan

Family plans are all the rage in the world of streaming content services, and it is a way to enjoy them in a somewhat cheaper way since an expense is distributed among several people. Of course, technically they are family plans, that is, it is not worth sharing it with friends or with people who do not live in our home ...

Spotify makes it clear when you subscribe to his family plan: only for people who live in the same address, the problem is that nobody does it like that ... Therefore, they try again to fight against these «large families» and they would be beginning to use the location of mobile devices to verify that users are actually in the location of the "father" of the family ...

Apparently the guys from Spotify would be requiring some users to activate the location of their devices when registering as a member of a family enjoying the controversial family plan. They will locate us and once the verification is complete we can continue enjoying the music without further requirements. What's going on? that family plans are designed to be used by people who are part of the same family unit, who are in the same physical place ... This is what the guys from Spotify tell us in a statement:

This data is encrypted and can be edited by the plan owner as needed. The location data that is collected during the Family Premium account creation is only used by Spotify for that purpose. Once a family member's home address verification is complete, we do not store their location data or track their location at any time.

Greed broke the sack ...

And yes, by way of reflection I would like to say that "Greed broke the sack", and it is that I have come to see Websites that resell Spotify accounts at cheaper prices than the "normal" plan using these family accounts. What happens? Well, there are people who for whatever reason do not know these family accounts and there are many who take advantage of the situation and resell family accounts, Spotify loses and in the end they consider controlling these family accounts to verify that the family really exists. We will see what happens with all this, what is clear is that with time these Chollos They are going to end because of the picaresque, and yes, greed.
