To me, it isn't really clear what it is about.
Facebook said:

Yes. But people had to explicitly sign in to Facebook first to use a partner’s messaging feature. Take Spotify for example. After signing in to your Facebook account in Spotify’s desktop app, you could then send and receive messages without ever leaving the app. Our API provided partners with access to the person’s messages in order to power this type of feature.
Spotify pushed "log in with Facebook" and as far as I know, for a while it was the only way to use Spotify, and I would have expected Facebook to word the above stronger if they had additional steps to give access to messages. Do you know additional details? (really wish both sides here would present detailed flows)

Good for asking for more details, it seems like most people have already made up their minds without asking for any details, just fill in the blanks to fit the narrative.
