Since facebook allows US users under 18 years of age, don't they have a legal obligation not to host porn?

They could host it behind age checks. It seems like it would be easy enough for them to perform automatically.

They could, but then they'd lose a large chunk of users who don't want to be even remotely associated with such a site.

And this doesn't apply to Holocaust deniers because...

Because people don't care about Holocaust deniers as much as they care about 'indecent' pictures.

In fact, Facebook's age-check would be 10,000,000% more effective than every other age-checked page on the internet.

I don't think written porn is covered.
