I would agree in principle, in Germany/EU there is this ongoing discussion about making a carrier ("forum") responsible - which will lead to upload-filter SaaS, the way PWC does audits. Still you can fail for accounting after an PWC audit (too many public examples), but most companies that don't actively try to break the law feel kind of safe with a PWC audit. I would assume it's the same when you let an upload-filter company audit your content (but increases cost, just like PWC).
With GDPR on the other hand you can't use any US company with your customer PI data in the US and US companies hosting in the EU is a gray zone [1].
It is a challenge to find equivalent companies in the EU, e.g. good luck finding a equivalent competitor to Unbounce or Webflow. It works for MailChimp (e.g. Sendinblue) and ZenDesk, but not for some other dependencies you might have.
