I'd agree if the facts were that the 3rd parties only had read/write access for messages that were coming from their platform. The NYT article implies that the 3rd parties had read access for all messages, including messages unrelated to the integration. The FB response article doesn't dispute this. If it is truly the case that FB gave the 3rd parties read access to all messages, that wouldn't be what users expected when they gave permission -- and it seems like unnecessary sloppiness and a lack of privacy controls at Facebook.
