I see nothing preventing this information being sought in U.S. discovery right now--at least in Federal litigation[0]. That isn't to say that the subpoena won't be squashed by a court for one of the traditional rationales under FRCP 26(b).[1]
>When are police going to start sweeping such data up en masse, looking for e.g. parole violations?
Arguably runs afoul of the particularity requirement of the fourth amendment, although I do not pretend to be an expert on criminal law. That said, I understand the fourth amendment to be a low bar these days.
> When will every "free association" be a tracked association?
Rhetorical question?
[0] Your specific example, divorces, are state law in the US. I don't do that, and the relevant laws / cases can change on a state-by-state basis.

- pasbesoin 9y agoThanks for the response. Yes, the last part could be considered rhetorical. Except, I think that is the very real direction some -- including especially some already in authority, in the U.S. as well as around the world -- want to take things. On the other hand, maybe my question is rhetorical, in that the tracking is already in place.
