Nope.
The DMCA had and continues to protect service providers from copyright infringement claims when they reproduce user-submitted content, so long their services follow certain procedures. FOSTA has absolutely nothing to do with copyright.
FOSTA does, however, amend & weaken the safe harbour provisions of the Communications Decency Act. But those protections were never subject to the idea that monitoring users makes you more liable.
