So how is that relevant in the context here. FB did not clearly request to be able to read all traffic (encrypted and nonencrypted) so how could they get consent. Unless you're arguing, "we will monitor your Internet usage", clearly means we will man-in-the-middle all your connections. Which would be a weird take.

Yes they did. Participants were even compensated for it IIRC
