AT&T has been widely criticized for its 5G E tactic, but there’s no indication that the company cares or is even the least bit interested in reversing course. The symbol has already started appearing on Android devices and just recently showed up on the latest iOS beta.

AT&T’s strategy, which arguably amounts to trickery, has been categorized by many as misleading at best and purposefully deceptive at worst. Consumers, though, aren’t the only ones taking umbrage with AT&T’s tactics. Yesterday afternoon, Sprint filed a lawsuit against AT&T over its 5G E sleight of hand.

Spotify has been putting up with this activity for years, but the free ride appears to be coming to an end. This week, the company began sending out emails to users informing them that its user guidelines have been updated to “[make] it clear that all types of ad blockers, bots, and fraudulent streaming activities are not permitted.” Starting March 1st, if you are caught using an ad blocker, you could be suspended or banned immediately.
