This opinion is only binding in the 5th circuit (TX, MS, LA). Other jurisdictions can take the ruling as informative but are not obliged to follow it. However, because this deals with the activity of global social media companies, it's likely to effectively become the de facto standard because Twitter et al. do not want to keep getting sued by Texans and Cajuns.
It only truly becomes national policy if it's appealed to the Supreme Court and they uphold it.
I have no idea what this means. So we get free speech after how many more appeals?
