Spotify Friends List Doxxing

New Spotify feature is doxxing Rant I checked Spotify today and noticed a new feature that lets you DM people. I tried it and saw a list of "suggested friends", most I recognized, but a few I couldn't place. Based on the music she shared (it shows every single link you've ever sent that someone has opened, as long as they have a Spotify account), I realized some of these were people I know from Discord. I don't reveal my real identity on Discord, but occasionally share music in servers or while gaming. I've always kept Discord anonymous, and Spotify has never been a "social" app for me. But now it seems that anyone I've sent a Spotify link to, if they also have an account, can potentially find me, which means they could discover my full name and other account info. It's a little alarming. Just something to keep in mind if you share music in servers or subreddits and want to maintain your privacy

A Reddit post screenshot claims that Spotify’s suggested-friends feature can reveal people connected through opened Spotify links. The poster worries that anonymous Discord users could discover their real name and account information, turning casual music sharing into an unexpected privacy risk.
