Facebook sued for $1 billion for being a “terrorist tool”
Lawyers have filed a $1-billion lawsuit against Facebook, saying it was used as a tool for engaging in terrorism.
Bloomberg reported the lawsuit alleges that Facebook “allowed the Palestinian militant Hamas group to use the platform to plot attacks that killed four Americans and wounded one in Israel, the West Bank, and Jerusalem”.
“Facebook has knowingly provided material support and resources to Hamas in the form of Facebook’s online social network platform and communication services,” lawyer Nitsana Darshan-Leitner told Bloomberg.
This, said Darshan-Leitner, makes Facebook liable for the violence.
