The Supreme Court rules that social media companies are not liable for recommendations their algorithms make, and remands the two related cases to lower courts.

Well, there is a key detail to keep in mind: #SCOTUS ruled here with respect to enforcing a specific law, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, the terms of which had certain legal requirements.
They ruled that the complaint did not reach the requirements of JASTA.
There may be some indirect implications with regard to something like #Section230 but the ruling isn't so broad as to decide liability in general.

Good point, which in part of probably why they remanded the case to lower courts.
Still, the ruling will be scrutinized in detail and may affect social media business practices.
