Comment on Spotify and Facebook: Is that phishing?

Comments

This is pretty shameless, even for Facebook.

Except it's Spotify doing it, not Facebook...

Unless Spotify has some backdoor API with Facebook, it seems like a major oversight in the Facebook API that an (any?) app can re-register a deactivated account and give itself whatever permissions it wants.

Just because Spotify accidentally (or purposefully) took advantage of that hole doesn't mean it's not Facebook at fault here.
