Why does the Android app now want permission to read my texts?

Android App
The new update for the Android app is requesting that it gets new permissions for reading my texts, getting full access to my personal information (including my contact card, my calendar, etc.), and to my network. Why does it need this? I'm not granting it permission. It's already too much that the app was already apparently collecting people's phone numbers without their permission. I'm sorry, but no, Facebook, you don't get to read my texts.

So why does it need this information?
