No they can't. Like hosting companies, their content is not posted by Google employees and they deal with millions of images from many sources.

They do not manually moderate their content.

Large forum sites like GFY have an exclusion under "v" because they do not moderate the content before it is posted. The content, like with hosts, is created by third parties.

As with hosting companies, as long as large services like that respond to complaints, they should be exempt under the new regulations.
