How does content violate law: In July of 2019 the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that "by preventing critics from accessing his feed, the president is barring them from participating in what the judges deemed a public forum." Since this channel is the official White House channel, and is used "to conduct official business and to interact with the public", it cannot have it's comment section turned off. This is a US government content provider . By blocking comments, they/YouTube are violating first amendment rights.
Precedent works because courts operate on the assumption that other (usually higher) courts will follow the precedent they set in prior rulings, so they generally rule in line with that precedent and other groups (from businesses to law enforcement) change their behavior to comply with what they expect a court to rule.
If those other groups just start ignoring that precedent, then it needs to be tried again. Of course at that point you're assuming the courts will follow the precedent, and as we all know Trump was a special case. No rulings that applied to Trump will apply now that he is gone.
