A team from Kirkland & Ellis led by partner Craig Primis persuaded a federal judge in New York to toss a pair of suits alleging that Facebook Inc. supports terrorist organizations by allowing the groups to use its platform.
One suit was brought by 20,000 people who live in Israel and say they “have been and continue to be targeted by” attacks by Palestinian terrorist organizations. The other was brought by the estates and family members of U.S. citizens victims (and, in one case, the surviving victim) of past attacks by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas and sought $3 billion in damages.
