[EU] I want to replace an old multi-socket but the majority of the ones sold today don't have this pin? Why is that and does that mean they are not connected to the ground?
Yes, if your plug looks like this, the new ones will do.

Ground goes from the pin on the one you already have into the plug, or through the tiny plates on the side.
