These issues are endemic to any platform. Even mainstream blogging sites like Tumblr had issues with the large quantities of child pornography being shared by the users. It's the users posting illegal content that should be held accountable not the platform owners.

#12The hosting company could be a cesspool but I just checked one of the news blog site the article attributed to ‘right wing radicals’. The content looks like Dutch version of Buzzfeed or TMZ https://vizieroplinks.org/
A version of Buzzfeed who put letter bombs through left-winger's mailboxes, regularly make death threats to left-wing politicians and generally act like a they're living in some third world anarchist state.

Yes (he should have known not to take liquids as hand-luggage on a flight) Edit: as hand-luggage
Can you not take spirits, wine, or beer (sealed) on a flight in the EU? EDIT: Removed question about duty free, answered by replies below. Odd, as in the US, there is no limit if in your checked baggage if below 24% ABV, and 5 liters if 24% - 70% (carry on has much stricter limits [3.4oz or less that can fit comfortably in one quart-sized, clear, zip-top bag], but is still permitted). https://www.tsa.gov/blog/2019/06…
They are after the checkpoints and they are marked. So you can take them on board. But that likely won't work for next flight if you have to through security again... Also some airlines sell stuff that is directly deposited on your seat.

Copyright laws are international. If you think WIPO won’t enforce a DMCA claim because “American laws don’t apply outside of the US” (Bwahahahaha! Ha hahah! gasp HAHAH!! Ha! Ha! Ahh heh heh heh... oh, my...) you’re kidding yourself.

You can from duty free, just nothing that you bring from outside the airport that goes with your carry-on that passes through security.
Your luggage can carry spirits or whatever other drinks you want, just not carry-on though. For... Safety reasons, obviously.

Yeah isn't this akin to say, posting child pornography on electrical poles in the city and then blaming the city for it?

WIPO don't "enforce" anything - they are not like agents of SHIELD.
Worked for WIPO as a consultant back in the 90s.

You can't enforce a DMCA claim against an entity without ties to the US. You can enforce a copyright claim against an entity in a jurisdiction that respects copyright, but you're going to need to use that jurisdiction's procedures.
I'm sure these companies don't throwout local court summons, but a lot of copyright holders (or their agents) send out DMCA claims and don't follow through beyond that.
