Do I understand correctly? So Google is demonetising a site because it considers it responsible for what the users post on its forums? Isn't that contrary to Google's (and all internet giant) own policy of not being responsible for what users post on through their platforms?

No, because one is about private accountability and the other is about legal accountability. The bar to legal accountability was expressly adopted to enable private accountability measures without incurring legal consequences, so there is absolutely no inconsistency in applying private accountability measures while supporting the existing exemption from legal accountability.
