Law is built on qualifiers. Right now social media lacks a qualifier. This case is, as shown previously, seeking to qualify social media. The implications of such qualification would then hold for all precedent for entities of said qualifier such as a legal "open forum." That part is not speculative. What I would speculate is that such qualification may also spark government interest in more direct regulation of social media. It would be done under the pretext of 'clarifying legal uncertainty and ensuring fair protection under the law.'
