That's not a correct interpretation of the permission:

Access your data for sites in the “named” domain

The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords.

It requires permission to modify said domains to remove the paywall from their articles.
