NEW YORK: A federal judge on May 18 dismissed two lawsuits seeking to hold Facebook Inc liable for supporting terrorist groups by letting them use its social media platform to further their goals, including violence against Jews.
US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis in Brooklyn dismissed a US$3bil (RM12.98bil) damages lawsuit by relatives of American victims of Hamas attacks, saying the federal Communications Decency Act regulating Internet content immunises Facebook from liability.
