Many predictions here are about social media. My prediction is that the first amendment rights they've won themselves are going to bite them in 2025.

The first ruling has already happened: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/t...

What this ruling means is that the algorithm is a expression of the first amendment from the platform itself. If the algorithm does harmful things it causes first party liability.

My prediction is that the administration will not do much to the social media giants but class action lawsuits will.
