As long as the client is providing you with the logs voluntarily, the only ethical concern I can see involves the privacy of the people your client is chatting with. Your client may be comfortable sharing his or her communication, but that doesn't mean that his or her friends will feel the same way. This, it seems to me, is one level beyond the client conveying a conversation to his or her therapist from memory...this is the conversation itself. You'd have to get permission from the client's friend, and even if you succeeded in doing so, you'd probably negatively effect every future conversation (i.e. the client and his friend will think twice about what they write, knowing that the therapist may end up reading it.)
