Are social networks making backdoors for law enforcement?

There’s a chance that online social networks may be constructing "deep packet inspection" technologies to retain data on users, which can be forwarded to law enforcement, government, copyright owners, etc. With this, Internet data can be tracked or recorded without a user’s knowledge in real-time, and perhaps learn more about us as online users. 

This does not just involves social networks  - ISPs are getting in on this too, thanks to the entertainment industry going after online pirates, and dozens of other countries, not just limited to the United States.
