I have absolutely no context beyond reading this document but it appears they only did SSL decryption on their Facebook Research App where users were explicitly paid for running the app and giving facebook access to their network traffic. I... would probably not accept that deal but it doesn't seem accurate to call this "spyware" or "wiretapping", both of which imply non-consensuality.
