It very much can and does matter. Asking for access to my photos so I can send one through a messaging service is hugely different than simply wanting to suck up all data about me.
I cannot wait until the US gets a privacy law like the new EU one. Then they would have to absolutely justify why they're collecting that.

MoviePass is not a messaging service though.
If they ask permission for your photos and you give it, you live with the consequences. Or you value your privacy more than MoviePass and choose to not use the service.
