They upload it, although I guess you are only meant to upload your own.

They get a match. I guess at that point they could not compel the match to assist them and a warrant might be needed but if the person volunteered, no warrant needed.
I would think they would and if not I think they should.

It is to do with evidence integrity and fruit from a poisonous tree. Although I don't know if they do have to have a warrant for that type of thing but you do for other evidence but as you say it is in the public domain but the website must have some type of GDP although it is the USA so who knows.
