The EU has effectively copied the DMCA, so no.

It's way worse than DMCA actually. With DMCA you can get takedown requests when one of your users uploads copyrighted works. Comply with the takedown requests in reasonable ways and you're fine.

The EU legislation means that platforms are liable beforehand.

No which? Not good, or not bad?
If it even remotely resembles the DMCA, then it can't be good.
