13 to 17 year olds aren't supposed to be able to access porn legally, so can Facebook plausibly deny that this is something they are monitoring?

FB is not supposed to make deals with minors without adult supervision…
It was open to adults as well, but yes. However, they had no duty to specifically enumerate that particular case anyway lol. And technically that is a crime under US law to distribute porn to minors, but its not a crime for the users to view it, so if they connect to a website intended for and operating in another country without such laws, there is no legal issue.
