I live in Canada, but my servers are hosted by a third party in the United States. I run a forum-type website, so most content is provided by users.

Do I have any liability for illegal content that users may post, including:

How do large companies like Facebook avoid liability or other legal problems for such illegal content?

Large companies do not avoid liability; they manage it by employing teams of lawyers and programmers to do so.
