I was on my husband’s Facebook as I do not have it - he was in the room and knew I was on it as I was looking at photos from a family wedding. It has a section on the top saying videos and when clicked in. It said videos suggested for you. Lots of porn - does this mean he is watching porn on Facebook?

He's watched some porn.. not necessarily on FB.. it will have flagged up his cookies and history and algorithms.
I was looking at a place in Turkey on Google and l kept getting suggestions on FB of the place.
I looked at Tens machines for my pain and kept getting suggestions of other health equipment.
I looked at Skechers shoes and that flagged up as suggestions.

From Google:

Facebook works hard to ensure that people keep returning to the app by aiming to give us more of what we like. The Facebook algorithms will offer suggestions of content we might like based on our previous interactions with similar posts. You'll see these posts in your feed under the heading “Suggested For You”.

Nope.

Depends on his settings. It may have rights to see what he's watched, it might not. It might have permission. To listen to conversation, it might not.

It depends on settings but I've had a single conversation about one random thing, and the day after, it came up with an ad for it

Just ask him!

It kept bringing up porn suggestions so I think he is watching - I hate porn but understand other’s opinions differ.

I've been in a relationship for the last 12 years and it still keeps giving me dating app adverts. Companies pay for exposure to however many people. Some target those people to the minute detail, some decide to blast things to every single male, for example. It's not a sure fire way of telling

Oddly enough I'd have agreed with everyone else until last night, suddenly my suggested posts are all dating sites, I've been with my partner for 8 years, haven't touched a site since before that. I therefore would say don't worry just based on this now!
