The EU is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is US law.
That's not how any of this works, at all. If somebody does something illegal is it absolutely your responsibility and you must implement certain measures or penalties can follow (host can suspend you, DNS providers can kick you off, third parties shamed and cut ties with you).
If I post something illegal to this forum I'd expect it would be deleted and authorities contacted (and perhaps measures put in place to actively prevent harm from taking place at all, where possible).
The EU is taking hard line action against lawlessness online, this defense won't hold up ("sorry it was the users I'm innocent" ended many years back).
