Mehmet, I’m not sure if you understand the terms under which ISPs operate as “common carriers”, and thus enjoy immunity from lawsuits due to the acts of their customers.
ISPs in the U.S. are not carriers and never have been. Even the ISPs that are subsidaries of telcos, which are common carriers for their telco operations, are not common carriers for their ISPs. This should not come as surprise to anyone who's spent 15 minutes looking at the relevant law. ISPs are probably protected by 47 USC 230(c)(1) but all of the case law I know is related to web sites or hosting providers.
