Europe isn't a cultural monolith. This is an issue of MEP accountability and transparency. Look no further than Chat Control to see how far they're going to ensure that the people in favor of it remain nameless.
The category of civil liability for which the compliance with the DMCA notice and takedown rules offers a safe harbor, first of all, doesn’t overlap with the conduct which constitutes criminal infringement but, more importantly, even if it did the DMCA safe harbor only applies to civil and not criminal liability in the first place.
“Following the DMCA” is irrelevant to anything the FBI would be involved in.
Because the DMCA’s safe-harbor provisions only apply to sites that adhere to its requirements. Sites whose primary purpose is to host torrent files or infohashes arguably don’t qualify.
If the DMCA allowed US operators to host torrent catalogs openly, there’d be a plethora of them.
No because torrenting is anti-capitalism and that's not tolerated culturally (Communist behaviour). However I doubt they'll be blocking WhatsApp and iMessage any time soon, or making people upload their ID to watch "adult content".

If you follow the DMCA I don't see why not.
