No where in this article do they say users gave consent to have their information shared which they were required to do before such services could be implemented. At best, that's bad reporting and misleading at worst it's an agenda.
So I stand by my accusation that you are pretending to be stupid, because no person working at Facebook would really be unable to find the accusation of private data being shared in an article titled “Facebook gave Spotify and Netflix access to users’ private messages”
