So, I have a website where I resell video courses related to pickup, personal development, fitness, business, and sex too. I've heard of DMCA . Currently, I use Flokinet hosting, which is a DMCA ignored hosting service. I live in India, a third-world country. Am I safe from DMCA? That is my question. Will the DMCA affect my Google Analytics? Like, will it de-index me from Google? Also, how can I prevent this? I don't want to get DMCA-compliant. How can I be safe from Google? Can anyone help me with this?

Still studying about this as well. Your country might not care about DMCA but Google does, and they don't want to be liable for anything infringing. The DMCA law incentivizes Google to take your content off their website in return for them not being on the hook financially for linking to your content IF the owner of the copyright makes a legit claim to Google. A lot of big brands are quite efficient at this and do it automatically.
You can counter-claim with Google but doing so requires you to agree to be subject to a lawsuit in the location where Google is (Northern California) if you don't reside in the USA. If the other party doesn't file a lawsuit against you within 14 days, Google will put your links back up. But the other party can still file that lawsuit (at any time) and then you'll be taken down until you win the lawsuit.
Note that all kinds of companies might do he same as Google assuming they want to have a US presence, such as your webhost, your domain registrar, your payment processing, etc.
If you can easily hop to a new domain and webhost, you should be pretty "safe". Just don't file any counter claims unless you're willing to accept the risk of a default judgement against you in the US.
