Twitter won’t be held accountable for accusations it aided and abetted terrorism by not only allowing ISIS-produced content on its platform but profiting from it via advertisements. The accusations come from the family of Nawras Alassaf, who was killed in a 2017 terrorist attack carried out by an ISIS operative on the Istanbul nightclub Reina.
The family chose to sue Facebook, Google, and Twitter instead of ISIS, arguing that the platforms were allowing bad actors to recruit, push propaganda, and fund-raise. And while it is true that the massive platforms do inadvertently allow dangerous groups to operate, the Supreme Court stated that advertisements and algorithmically determined content appear agnostic regardless of content.
