Bizi,

1 Doc John would have no interest in that.

2 But any other goof ball (not legitimate) or agency (legitimate ) can do that.
As far as I know, that has been the case since the beginning of the Internet.

3 The U.S. government does not need a warrant.
It is doing "data-ming" with the permission of Congress. (Congress gave governmental agencies authority to do those things.)
