Except if I install by choice, a app that records what my device is doing, I would not call that wiretapping.

Wiretapping is what you do to others, generally without knowledge. Facebook paid individuals to record what data their devices sent out.

Unless Facebook obtained lawful consent to intercept communications between the computer owner and another party, using an app by choice is not a defense to wiretapping. That the plaintiffs are alleging wiretapping suggests that the VPN terms of use contained no such consent to intercept communications between the computer owner and other parties.

Ahh, yes. That is a huge distinction I was not aware of.
