Facebook Graph API: What is the purpose of distinguishing between “links” and “statuses,” respectively. Read_stream and friends_status permissions

I am creating a function that uses the shared links of facebook user friends as input.

Looking for the best way to get all of these links, I came across the following problem:

Shared links are represented in the Graph API using objects of type link or type status (where the message contains a link).

What I'm confused about is that these permissions require different permissions: read_stream (which is pretty intrusive) for the first and friends_status for the last.

It makes sense? Is super linking a status? Or am I missing something here?

You do not need friends_statusto if you do not plan to read friend statuses of friends for links. You only need to ask permission read_stream. This will allow you to read something on the user's wall, even if it was sent by a friend.
