Woman Sues Twitter For Allowing ISIS Accounts On Website!

A woman, who lost her husband Lloyd Carl Fields, Jr., an American contractor,  during the November 9th gunman attack on a Police training center in Jordan is sued Twitter microblogging website for allowing ISIS (and sympathizer) accounts to thrive on the website.



The court documents the woman's side submitted, she explained her reason for filing the lawsuit: 
"..for years, Twitter has knowingly permitted the terrorist group ISIS to use its social network as a tool for spreading extremist propaganda, raising funds and attracting new recruits. This material support has been instrumental to the rise of ISIS and has enabled it to carry out numerous terrorist attacks".
On their part a company spokesperson told the World Street Journal that "violent threats and the promotion of terrorism deserve no place on Twitter and, like other social networks, [their] rules make that clear." Due to those deletions, its employees got death threats back in 2015.
