The DMCA doesn't say that.
"They really should screen everything before it gets posted."

No, if they did that they WOULD be liable. The DMCA specifically grants a provider the equivalent of the "common carrier" provisions that allow Viacom to run many of their own operations. If Google screened the material they would be acting as an editor, and would lose that protection.
