Music streaming application Spotify has imposed restrictions on some of its users, preventing them from playing music.
According to foreign media, many users complained this week that Spotify wasn’t working, and the issue wasn’t technical, but rather a restriction imposed by the app itself.
Reports indicate that Spotify offers a free version of its service with ads for users who do not want to pay for premium services.
The reports claim that Spotify has blocked access to its platform for free users and emptied their playlists.
Most streaming companies are aware that modified versions of their apps can be misused in various ways, and thus it is necessary to block their access. According to media reports, the platform decided to block the gateways for these modified apps at the API level to ensure that all users switch to the official app available on the Play Store.
