Family of American killed in 2015 Paris terror attacks asks Supreme Court to curb immunity for social media.
"If some changes can be done to prevent these terrorist people [from] keeping killing human beings, then that is a big thing," Beatrice Gonzalez, Nohemi Gonzalez's mother, told ABC News in the family's first interview about the case.
The family wants to bring a case against the company under the Anti-Terrorism Act but has been blocked from doing so because of a landmark federal law that has given sweeping legal immunity to social media companies for more than 25 years. "Hopefully this will change the laws and it'll be for the good by being more careful about the social media, so [other parents] never have the pain that we're feeling," said Nohemi Gonzalez's stepfather, Jose Hernandez.
