Reynaldo Gonzalez, whose daughter Nohemi Gonzalez was killed in the Paris terrorist attacks on 13 November 2015, is suing Twitter, Facebook, and Google.

According to Gonzalez, the platforms have for years “knowingly permitted the terrorist group ISIS to use their social networks as a tool for spreading extremist propaganda, raising funds, and attracting new recruits”.

He said “this material support has been instrumental to the rise of ISIS, and has enabled it to carry out numerous terrorist attacks”.

He added that Twitter, Facebook, and Google enabled ISIS to carry out the attacks in Paris, where more than 125 people were killed.
