Manhattan: A federal judge slammed Facebook Inc., saying the social media giant might not be doing enough to deter terrorists from using its platform. The judge noted similar suits haven’t been successful under US law which insulates publishers from liability for the speech of others. Isn’t the social media platform “basically putting together people who’d like to be involved in terrorism with people are terrorists?” the judge asked. “Doesn’t Facebook have some moral obligation to help cabin the kinds of communications that appear on it?”Judge goes onThe judge didn’t stop there. The cases are Force v. Facebook, 16-cv-5158, and Cohen v. Facebook, 16-cv-4453, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn).
