The complete lack of concrete information and the fact that the "incident" applies to only one user suggests something was discovered that triggered the company lawyers to engage cover-your-ass mode.

The alternative explanation would be that Spotify has adopted a total transparency policy that includes even the smallest of incidents, but the total lack of information about what the Android update actually changes doesn't support that.

Am I missing something here?
