The case is still pending.
Idaho has gone down the extreme end in their anti-abortion laws, so to see they were the ones that dismissed a case on one of these data sellers is very telling about their intentions.

Back in the day, slave catching was also a for profit business

Not that you're wrong overall, but this is not an Idaho court; it's a US District Court in Idaho. States can't overrule the FTC.
I mean, they can...but they'll probably lose in court.
