listener location data on artist profile leaks personal data

listener location data on artist profile leaks personal data

I noticed this on the desktop web app but it is likely an issue on other platforms as well. In the about section on an artist's page, under the number of monthly listeners, there's a list of cities where that artist is popular, each with a listener count. This isn't a problem when there are many listeners in each city, but with less popular artists the count is shown even for cities that have just one or two listeners. If you knew someone listened to a certain artist, you might be able to figure out where they live by looking at this data. This is a privacy issue that could easily be fixed by hiding the location-specific listener counts until they reach 10 or 20.
