Justices mustered a twenty page per curiam decision in TikTok v. Garland.

John Sutter : Like Bush v. Gore , this case is limited to its unique circumstances.

He says the Court doesn't actually decide if the law triggers heightened review.

Sutter says the question we face today is not the law's wisdom, only its constitutionality.

David Gergen : I worry that litigation over them can sometimes take on a life of its own.

He says the Court limits is holding based on the vast size of TikTok 's data-collection powers.

Gergen fears any sort of government control over the algorithm can pave the way to censorship.
