Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism during oral arguments Wednesday that terror attack victims could sue Twitter because the attackers had used the social media site.
Twice in as many days, the justices mulled the broader negative consequences of ruling against Twitter and other internet companies when it comes to liability for content users post on their platforms.
Wednesday’s case, Twitter v. Taamneh, centers on whether Twitter could be held liable because terrorist group the Islamic State used the website to recruit members and spur the 2017 attack at the Reina night club in Istanbul that killed Nawras Alassaf.
