most big tech censorship is done behind closed doors with no public records, and a significant amount is done at the request of the state department. that stuff isn't going away. this ruling might stop overt censorship, like a person having their account banned, and even that is doubtful.
That needs to be made illegal too. They'll still do it, but then at least the next administration will have power to wield the DOJ and use it against the previous one, and it will serve as a deterrent to CEOs forcing them to think before having any private calls with officials.
It's a pipe dream though, because the cozy relationship between the federal government and Big Tech is by design. They didn't fund LifeLog just so we could use it to coordinate the overthrow of their regime.
