Description

### Description

Currently, users in a 1-1 chat can redact the other user's messages which goes against how almost all chat apps out there behave. This could cause a lot of confusion and abuse.

### Steps to reproduce

- Start a direct chat with someone
- Talk for a while
- Redact one of the other user's messages
- The message is successfully redacted

In a 1-1 chat setting, users should only be able to redact own messages, not the other participant's.
