[Social] Block Followers

I believe there should be a way to block people that are following you on Spotify. When blocked, the user will automatically unfollow you and will not be able to find you, or view your public playlists.

 

Blocking should be possible via both username and email address.

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for coming to the Ideas Exchange, and sharing your votes and comments.

 

We’re pleased to confirm that all users now have the option to block another user on Spotify. With this update, you can actively block another user across desktop and mobile devices, preventing them from being able to see listening activity, public playlists, or view profile pages.

 

Here’s how it works:

  • When visiting another user’s profile, click on the   (...) button.
  • Select “Block” (or “Block User” on mobile) to block the user whose profile you are viewing.
  • This user will now be blocked and cannot access your page, public playlists or view your listening activity.
  • To unblock a user, click the Unblock option in the same menu.


We're always working hard to provide the best possible Spotify experience in a safe environment.

Please see here for more information.

This is perverted that we can't block this.

How long until we can turn this severe lapse of user privacy into a class-action lawsuit?

No update on this?? How is it possible that this has not been implemented yet? I know for a fact that people with ill intent are using this platform to communicate with underage girls and their parents have no way of blocking these people. This is a safety issue at this point and should be taken more seriously. I love Spotify, but I will never let any of my own children use it for this reason. Do better Spotify.

Three things this service has yet to address. 

1. Blocking Followers

2. Blocking Explicit Pornographic Album art.

3. Two factor authentication Logins
