A lawyer for Twitter told the Supreme Court on Feb. 22 in a closely watched case that the social media company should not be liable merely because some terrorists may have used its services.
The case, Twitter v. Taamneh (court file 21-1496), goes back to the Jan. 1, 2017, terrorist attack on the Reina nightclub in Istanbul, Turkey, by Abdulkadir Masharipov, an individual affiliated with and trained by ISIS.
