After Reporters Without Borders, or RSF, discovered that it was the target of a disinformation campaign this past summer, the Paris-based group filed 10 reports of policy violations with X, formerly known as Twitter.
Since none of the posts in question have been removed, RSF opted to sue the company in French courts “for its complicity in disseminating false information, misrepresentation and identity theft,” the group said in a statement.

“Is X’s deliberate unwillingness to fight disinformation punishable by law? Does it make the company complicit in the pollution of public debate?” the statement said. “With the new case brought forth by RSF, the French courts now have the opportunity to address these pressing questions, establish X’s legal obligations and hold it to account.”
Section 230 says no
That is just the US correct?
yes
but sadly and consequence will result in fines, and when you are a billionaire who is currently in favor with the next US president, you can ignore it.
short of countries banning #xitter nothing is going to happen.
Remember, #xitter caved into Brazil's demands when it was finally banned ... temporarily
