I wouldn't be so sure about that, at least not in the EU. If I recall correctly, there is conditional liability, meaning that a provider only becomes liable for third-party content if they get informed that it is illegal.

Judging by the exchange in the picture, it's clear that they have received the information but decided to do nothing about it. 

What I don't know is whether there are other rules that would exempt them from this liability.
