Plaintiff is trying to dodge CDA 230 by saying they're holding Twitter responsible for allowing ISIS members to *open accounts,*

Waxman says another material support for terrorism lawsuit was filed against Twitter and Facebook just yesterday.
-
Waxman says that material support statute doesn't have an intentionality or causation requirement when government prosecutes.
-
(????????)
-
However he says that it's different when talking about the civil remedy.
-
Waxman points out that federal law enforcement have never gone after online platforms for material support to terrorism.
-
"These platforms have been around for a long time and the material support statute dates back to 1998."
-
"No one in federal law enforcement has ever suggested that Facebook or Youtube or Twitter or Apple (????)..."
-
"...or any of these social media services are providing material support to terrorism."
-
Orrick letting plaintiff get the last word. Plaintiff starts off by saying that the ISIS cat video hypothetical is real ....
-
e.g., ISIS sends cat videos to win hearts and minds
-
Plaintiff says CDA 230 is not supposed to be a “get out of jail free card for businesses that publish on the internet.”
-
Orrick says he's still inclined to grant the motion, says he'll get the order out quickly and that he will grant leave to amend
-
So official decision not out but this case is ~probably~ dismissed for the time being
-
Waxman doesn't seem to want to talk on the record so I'm going to roll on out.
