A summary of the ruling is that now generally illegal posts can be requested to be taken down extrajudicially instead of only through judicialization.
If the social media doesn’t, it can later be held responsible for the post in court. Prior to this, the social media would only be held responsible if it ignored a court order (like X did last year).
Social media must also take caution and may be held responsible for “massive circulation” of content like child pornography, terrorism or preparation for terrorist acts, incitement to racial crimes (or other discriminatory crimes), incitement to suicide, human traffic, attempted coup (abolishment of the democratic state of law).
