Actually, Facebook's 'publish_stream' extended permission, which has existed for 1-2 years, already gave developers the ability to publish on your wall, without getting explicit confirmation on each article.

Similarly, for Spotify to do this Activity stuff, you need to give them an extended permission called 'publish_actions'.

If anything, actions are less dangerous, since the size and visibility of the content is significantly more limited than are wall posts.

Anyone saying otherwise either is linkbaiting or truly does not understand the Facebook platform.
