New Jersey cops must apply for a wiretap order — not just a warrant — for near-continual snooping on suspects’ Facebook accounts, according to a unanimous ruling by that US state’s Supreme Court.  Thursday’s decision overturned a lower court’s ruling that said a search warrant was sufficient to compel Meta’s social network to turn over access to a user’s future posts and messages every 15 minutes for a period of 30 days. That’s effectively a real-time tapping system, it was argued.
