On another list, a blind person wrote to Pandora about some of the
accessibility issues with the latest update to their app and got an
apologetic response from Pandora saying they're aware of the issues and
they're planning to address them in an upcoming release.
It's so easy to spoof things on the internet, I personally wouldn't put
much stock into a Facebook post or even an apparent response from a
company. I'd follow up with the company. Even if it is a genuine
response from someone inside Pandora, a response from a particular
employee may not represent the views of the whole company. I'd give
Pandora the company a chance to respond and deal with the situation.
