The Supreme Court hears Twitter v. Taamneh on Feb. 22, 2023. The case will decide whether social media companies can be sued for aiding and abetting a specific act of international terrorism when the platforms have hosted user content that expresses general support for the group behind the violence without referring to the specific terrorist act in question. The plaintiffs in the case are the family members of Nawras Alassaf, who was killed in an ISIS attack in Istanbul in 2017. They have alleged that social media companies including Twitter had knowingly aided ISIS in violation of a U.S, antiterrorism law by allowing some of the group's content to persist on their platforms despite policies intended to limit that type of content.
