You mean this week’s news that Spotify and Netflix had experimental messaging client integrations years ago?
It’s a complete mischaracterisation that Facebook shared private messages with Spotify. By the same logic, you could say Google is sharing your emails with Apple when you access Gmail using the iOS Mail client.
