I know that Reddit’s content is S 230 because they only have to make a best faith effort to handle illegal content that was reported, and they largely delegate that responsibility to unpaid user volunteers who operate in a largely unregulated environment.
Not sure if this is just badly worded but this is… backwards. They are allowed to do “good faith” moderation because they are protected by S 230. Otherwise it could be seen as an act of “editing” which would mean they are responsible for the content. They don’t have to do any sort of moderation at all.
If they want to sell ads in the EU yes they do have to moderate. They also have to be transparent about how they moderate (incidentally, lemm.ee just instituted a rule for mods saying that they need to provide clear and accurate reasons for their actions)

Neat. That has nothing to do with S 230 in the US.
