Supreme Court's Decisions on Online Speech and Liability

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Google, Twitter, and Facebook in lawsuits seeking to hold them liable for terrorist attacks. However, the court avoided the big issue of whether the federal law that shields social media companies from being sued over content posted by others is too broad. The court unanimously rejected a lawsuit alleging that the companies allowed their platforms to be used to aid and abet an attack at a Turkish nightclub that killed 39 people in 2017. The court also returned the case of an American college student who was killed in an Islamic State terrorist attack in Paris in 2015 to a lower court.
