This reads like somebody who doesn’t know how the internet works.

People who search, promote, like, follow, things relating to ISIS are going to be exposed to more ISIS things.
You watch dog and cat videos in YT search engine, eventually you’ll start seeing cats and dogs, and probably a mix of some other animals like rabbits or squirrels on your homepage and more often on the side bar. That’s how these algorithms work.
Unless you can prove said algorithms purposefully promote things like ISIS to people who do not search for these things then there should be no issue.
You can watch this video about, well, pretty much the same case involving YT, alleging that there algorithms promote harmful ideologies:

Just talk to your elder relatives and they'll be happy to advise you for free. That might not be nowhere nearly as funny though.

Well that's just a separate issue and not covered by this supreme court case. Section 230 of the CDCA provides a lot of protections to hosts and depending on the wording of the ruling, a lot could change in a lot of places. Youtube receives lifetimes of videos every day. If every single one needed a full screening before hosting, something would have to give. Costs would increase on their end. While I can say "they can just shrug off the cost" we know that's not how it would play out. Not saying I like it, and I think hosts need some responsibility, but these things are all tied together. Not to mention possible effects on ad revenue due to slower publishing of content and the likes.
Legal Eagle did a good video about it last week. I'd recommend checking it out.

Tried to unionize, Musk denied their right to sentience. Thus began the war.

The best line in Gattaca is from the genetic counselor picking a parent’s genes for a child:
“It is still you, just the best parts of you.”
He is the embodiment of the slippery slope.
That film was produced by Danny DeVito. I wonder if he was interested in the project because he would never exist in that world.

This case is bullshit, my problem with Twitter is how Elon selectively moderates the platform to satiate his ego. You can’t reasonably stop or perfectly moderate groups like ISIS or ISIS-adjacent organizations that can slip by and say whatever dumb shit to say, and you can’t stop people searching for said groups. Like, you can’t rid Facebook or Snapchat of all CP… you can’t stop all people from seeking or even stumbling upon that content.
Millions of people make accounts everyday with fake names, emails, details and post stuff without verification. Some literally make accounts that last minutes just to DM some sick or stupid shit to as many people as possible or get something trending.
It’s like trying to stop all crime… just can’t do it, or at least can’t do it without flipping society upside down.
You can ask for better, or new forms of moderation but that’s really it.
