The government (agencies) can already do that.
They need some other incriminating evidence first to present to a judge to obtain a warrant to allow them access to the ISP DPI logs first though.
Monitoring is nothing new, for example in 2002 Microsoft scanned Hotmail email content using keywords such as "DevilsOwn" the name of the release group who first produced a pirated copy of XP.
They didn't have kit installed with an ISP though...
