DMCA notices can only be used to allege copyright infringement, not violation of the anticircumvention rules. If SE was delivered a DMCA notice, it was over the images or text in the post infringing some copyright, not the nature of their content.
While they're technically both part of the same bill, the safe harbor system (Title II, the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act) is totally separate from the anticircumvention stuff (Title I, WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act).
