Gonzalez v. Google (21-1333); Twitter v. Taamneh (21-1496)

Twitter Question Presented

Google Question Presented

Both cases arise from civil suits brought by families of people killed in three separate terrorist attacks in Paris, Budapest, and San Bernardino.  Defendants Google (parent of YouTube), Twitter, and Facebook face charges of indirect liability (aiding and abetting terrorist attacks) and in the case of Gonzalez v. Google (the Paris attack), direct liability.

Defendants argue that CDA 230 immunizes them from the charges.
