A Californian district court has dismissed a lawsuit accusing Twitter of providing material support to ISIS. The lawsuit claimed that ISIS's Twitter presence constituted material support for the terror group and hence Twitter should be held partially responsible for their attacks. In its ruling, Judge William Alsup said he was not persuaded by Twitter's argument that it had no knowledge about ISIS or any other terrorist group.
