Given a public site with no logins: I let people post links to public Facebook profiles, and my site fetches the profile picture and displays it.

Would it be ok if I just told people to post profiles of which they had the owner’s permission?

Does such a statement exonerate me from copyright infringements and place the burden on the user?

Edit: For bonus points. Can the statement just be a notice under the button (that will save the link) that says that "By clicking this button you agree to the terms and conditions" with maybe a link to the terms and conditions.

While it would be a good idea to include or add such a warning on a website, it would not exonerate you - the website owner or webmaster - from copyright infringement or place the burden on the user.
