3rd party doctrine in the US is actual law... so I'm not sure what's confusing about that. The president has no power to change discovery law. That's congress. Why would a judge abrogate US law like that?
You're confused. This is not about the FBI's right to data, it's about the New York Times' right to the same. The doctrine you're referencing is irrelevant.
The magistrate is suggesting that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in chats OpenAI agreed to delete, at the request of users. This is bizarre, because there's no way for OpenAI to use data that is deleted. It's gone. It doesn't require abrogation of US law, it requires a sensible judge to sit up and recognize they just infringed on the privacy expectations of millions of people.
