Spotify says yes, it is busting people for using Family Plan sharing too widely

Spotify is implementing a QR code verification system for its Family Plan to ensure all members actually live together. Co-CEO Alex Norström called it a routine improvement rather than a crackdown during an earnings call.

Background

Spotify's Family Plan allows up to 6 accounts at a discounted rate, but requires all users to share the same household. QR code verification is an increasingly common method for platforms to enforce subscription terms.
