The third party doctrine was always a disgusting mess. Sharing my information with entity A does not even remotely imply I'm okay with sharing it with B, and even less that A may be compelled to reveal my information against my and their desire. So often we hear that "corporations are people" - so can people be compelled to inform on others, without a warrant? They're a third party, after all!

I almost never hear corporate personhood brought up in good faith, it's usually just a rhetorical device these days, but it's worth remembering that the general idea behind it is that Corporations are just organized groups of people and therefore they should (should in the view of the relevant laws) not lose protections (compared to the individuals that comprise the group) simply for acting in a coordinated fashion.
