Following Playlist during Private Session still posts to Facebook?

[ptewson]

I typically enjoy sharing my listening activity with facebook, but recently wanted to follow a playlist without the activity being shared on facebook (to protect the privacy of the playlist author, who doesn't want any of their activity to be shared on facebook). Despite enabling a private session, it shared my the fact that I followed the playlist to facebook anyway. It's one thing to expose my own activity, but to violate someone else's privacy while I'm in a private session seems like a huge bug. Clearly the user's expectation is that if your session is private, nothing they do will get shared on facebook, right?

Private session only stops Spotify from sharing what you are listening to, it does not disable other social aspects unfortunately. If you want activity not to be shared on Facebook, you need to untick the option in the settings menu instead.
