What happened
Families of victims killed in ISIS attacks sued social media platforms under the Anti-Terrorism Act, alleging the platforms aided and abetted terrorism by hosting and algorithmically recommending ISIS content. In May 2023 the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Twitter v. Taamneh that providing a generally available, algorithm-driven service does not amount to aiding and abetting terrorism, and consequently declined to reach the Section 230 question presented in Gonzalez v. Google.
