Washington. The United States Supreme Court handed a victory to Twitter, Facebook and Google by ruling that victims of “terrorist” attacks cannot hold social networks accountable for posting messages of support for the Islamic State (IS) group.
The cases targeting Google-owned YouTube and Twitter were seen as potential challenges to decades-old legal protections for tech companies.
The Court ruled on two cases. In the first, the parents of a young American girl killed in the November 2015 attacks in Paris had filed a complaint against Google, which they accused of having supported the growth of IS by suggesting their videos to some users.
In the second, the relatives of a victim of an attack in an Istanbul nightclub on January 1, 2017 believed that Facebook, Twitter and Google could be considered “accomplices” in the attack, because they considered that their efforts to remove content from the IS group they had not been “vigorous” enough.
Twitter has stated in court documents that it has taken down more than 1.7 million accounts for violating rules against the “threat or promotion of terrorism.”
