Permission to read text messages?

[egladfelter]

Yesterday I got a text from a friend saying he was going to Florida. Today I started getting advertisements for Florida Lottery.  I've never been to Florida. I have no plans on going there. I haven't done any searches related to Florida.  I don't understand any other way that they could have provided targeted advertisements for Florida other than by reading my text messages. If that's the case, why do they need access to my messages? Has anyone else had this issue?

The permission is surely to enable easy sharing music via text message?
