> So here Facebook acknowledges that an app that sends messages needs write permission, not read.

I guess the feature at issue here is that you could actually hold a conversation with a Facebook friend inside of Netflix or Spotify which does indeed necessitate the ability to read back messages from the other user.

Whether it was wise to allow that instead of the kind of sharing systems we use today in 2024 is another question.
