Five families of victims of recent terror attacks in Israel who had US citizenship have brought a lawsuit against Facebook in a New York court.
Taylor Force, Menachem Mendel Rivkin, Richard Leikin, Chaya Zisel Braun and Yaakov Naftali Frankel were all killed by Palestinian terrorists between 2014 and 2016.
Their relatives are suing Facebook for damages, claiming that the social media titan consciously aided terrorists spreading anti-Israel incitement.
Although Facebook has been the target of lawsuits before, the $1 billion figure is unprecedented.
