Submission + - Social media giants sued for helping ISIS (torontosun.com)
nnet writes: Social media giants Twitter, Google and Facebook are being sued by the families of victims of the San Bernardino terror attacks.
The lawsuit claims those companies aided ISIS by letting them build their online profile and bolster recruitment.
Fourteen people were killed in the December 2015 attacks by twisted husband-wife Islamist extremists Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.
“Without defendants Twitter, Facebook and Google (YouTube), the explosive growth of IS over the last few years into the most feared terrorist group in the world would not have been possible,” the suit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles, alleges.
