Can anyone with a bit more information explain why the EU might have any saying as to what a San Francisco–based nonprofit digital library can and can not host?

These notices are not enforceable. See the 2017 transparency report here: https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/...

(Page 4, Point 3.1: Referrals)

Quote: A referral activity (meaning the reporting of terrorist and extremist online content to the concerned OSP) does not constitute an enforceable act. Thus, the decision and removal of the referred terrorist and extremist online content is taken by the concerned service provider under their own responsibility and accountability (in reference to their Terms and Conditions).
