(Telecompaper) The Israeli and American families of victims of Palestinian attacks filed a USD 1 billion lawsuit against Facebook, claiming the social network is providing a platform for militants to spread incitement and violence, their lawyers said, as reported by the Associated Press. The Shurat Hadin group says Facebook violates the US Anti-Terrorism Act by giving militant groups such as Hamas a platform for spreading violence. Hamas called the lawsuit an Israeli attempt to blackmail Facebook.
