This morning in Toronto, cabbies are staging a demonstration to push city officials for more regulations on car-on-demand app-based service Uber. As they clog up major routes into the city core, taxi drivers are speaking on the morning news about how approximately 50% of their fares have been lost since consumers have been switching over to Uber services.

A new report has surfaced claiming Spotify might be bending to pressure from pure-pay competition like Apple Music. There are claims they are considering limiting access to music from select artists to paying customers only. This new “windowing” policy will supposedly restrict certain albums to Spotify users who pay for premium. At the moment, musicians need to release their music both for paying and free users of the service. Spotify has reportedly informed music executives about said plan.
The streaming service could test this out to see how it will affect subscriber numbers and new sign-ups. The Wall Street Journal reports Spotify currently has around 20 million paying customers and another 80 million users who listen using ad-supported, free method. There were supposedly plans to window Coldplay’s upcoming album Head Full of Dreams but negotiations fell through after the band wasn’t able to guarantee it won’t be available on other free platforms like YouTube.

We’re constantly hearing reports about security breaches online so we can’t help but feel a tiny bit paranoid for our online accounts. Thankfully, big sites and social networks like Facebook are looking to help calm your fears. Facebook has brought its Security Checkup tool from its online site to Android app. Security Checkup aims to add another layer of security for Facebook accounts. It makes it easier to log out of Facebook from browsers and devices you haven’t used Facebook on for a while. It also turns on Login Alerts in case someone tries to log into your account from a new phone or computer. And it protects your password, too.
You can use the Security Checkup tool in the Facebook Help Center on your Android app or online via this link.
