Twitter sued for "knowingly permitting" ISIS on social network

Despite what some anonymous commenters have said here when we've mentioned ISIS using twitter as a tool to recruit and communicate, namely that this is " right wing propaganda", we know better. Anyone who works with the social network on a less superficial level has seen that there's plenty of unsavoury characters hanging around, including, but not limited to, those who spread ISIS propaganda and use the tool to recruit and communicate with people. With twitters "nearby" feature one can zoom into conversations happening where one is, bypassing loud worldwide hashtags about a scientist's rockabilly shirt, and instead finding the local gossip in Paris, for example. Hashtags like #باريس_تشتعل ( vine) don't get quite the same media attention as #BrusselsLockdown's cat pictures did for various reasons.
The lawsuit against Twitter is being filed by the family of an American defense contractor who was gunned down in November while training security forces in Jordan. ISIS took credit for the killing. The lawsuit claims that the company has knowingly allowed terrorist groups such as ISIS to use its social network to spread extremist propaganda.
