I read the EO. Quickly, it instructs NTIA to look into online censorship and bias and send the FCC a report recommending changes to enforcement of Sec. 230 and allow suing when platforms overstep the limited range of protections Sec. 230 actually provides. E.g. child porn, not "I love Trump". Then the FCC looks into government funding of those censoring online and maybe stop funding them.
As far as I know, the NTIA and FCC have done nothing towards this EO. An EO can only instruct federal agencies. They can't tell companies what to do, directly that is. Hence the NTIA->FCC->Courts path outlined in the EO.
If this EO was followed, it would have allowed Twatter to be sued by a user they censored. They would likely fight it for as long as possible in court. It's a long process.
You're missing the point that they knew this day would come and planned accordingly.
What's the penalty for ignoring EOs?

There’s currently no penalty for treason if you’re a democrat.
OMG, hate to imagine a world after the inauguration.
