>So, Section 230 does not apply anymore in the EU ?

section 230 is a US law which never applied in the EU.

But no platform was ever held accountable for what their members posted, and it looks like this may soon change…
It sounds like it's the editorial decision (of what to promote) is the accountable thing; that seems reasonable to me. Looking at the comments on that thread, it sounds like non-editorial sorting ("simple categorization and indexation") would still be fine.
Not if you trade with the US of A :)
