The Court's Decision in Twitter v. Tamna
In Twitter versus Tamna, the court and a unanimous opinion written by Justice Thomas ruled against the family of an ISIS victim who had been killed in an attack on a Turkish nightclub. The suit was brought under a provision of the Anti-terrorism Act of 1990 which allows suits by individuals who are injured in their person property or business by reason of an act of international terrorism. And it was amended in 2016 to encompass individuals or entities who aid or abet by knowingly providing substantial assistance to international acts of terrorism.
