SCOTUS got it wrong--I'd be curious to know the impact of this ruling upon the news industry at the time. Here's how Brandeis describes the practice that SCOTUS ruled against:
Ever since its organization in 1909, it has included among the sources from which it gathers news, copies (purchased in the open market) of early editions of some papers published by members of the Associated Press and the bulletins publicly posted by them. These items, which constitute but a small part of the news transmitted to its subscribers, are generally verified by the International News Service before transmission, but frequently items are transmitted without verification, and occasionally even without being rewritten. In no case is the fact disclosed that such item was suggested by or taken from a paper or bulletin published by an Associated Press member.

See, the difference is that he thinks the Harvard letter was necessarily calling for genocide of Jews. Whereas of course that never happens on Twitter. And Musk never likes or interacts with the tweets that definitely don't do that.
You think "lawful conduct" can never be a reason for a state to terminate a contract? Do all contracts have to renewed forever unless a contractor commits a crime?
Right, and I'm sure there are many systematic differences in the algorithms from one country to the next. But the claim seems to be that TikTok operates a totally different "child-friendly" app in China with things like built-in time limits
Relatedly, does anyone know anything about what TikTok is like in China? I keep hearing this narrative that "TikTok knows what they're doing to American kids is harmful, that's why TikTok in China works totally differently and is actually educational" (eg https://www.deseret.com/2022/11/24/23467181/difference-between-tik-tok-in-china-and-the-us )

Brandeis wrote a worthwhile dissent about this in International News Service v. Associated Press, 248 U.S. 215 (1918)
