Twitter Inc v Taamneh
598 U.S. 471 (2023)
Key Principle
To be liable for aiding and abetting an act of international terrorism under 18 U.S.C. §2333(d)(2) (JASTA), a defendant must have given knowing and substantial assistance amounting to conscious, voluntary, and culpable participation in the specific terrorist act; social-media platforms' provision of generally available services to ISIS, without more, does not satisfy that standard.
