This is a very slippery slope. I am devastated for these families, but this isn't the answer.

Ambulance chaser on the grandest of scales.

Just a hunch but I am fairly certain these families didn't say to themselves " hmmm maybe we can sue Zuckerberg and friends".

Nope, pretty sure this guy went looking for them.

On the other hand... social media provides a way to ensnare those who may be planning to drive a truck into innocent shoppers.
People don't realize nearly everything you post can be read by another party.

E.g.; To abbreviate -- we bought a kitten from a rescue and the owner directed us to message her on her personal FB if we were interested in the sibling if it went unsold.
Holy cow. Talk about putting your personal information out there ! I messaged her to let her know we we'd buy the brother kitten and to let us know.
But meanwhile-- found out about info. that most people would keep private.
Smh.

Let's say someone posts incriminating evidence on their FB or other sm, and sets it to "private". If certain parties wish to read it-- rest assured they will -- as in homeland Security or a national security admin.

Very few people communicate solely through speech alone, and everyone has a phone.
My .02 is to let anyone with evil intentions "share" their plans with others .. then act on them in time to stop a tragedy.

RSBM

Probably. People preying on other's tragedies. Disgusting.

Forgot who said this, but I'll paraphrase : "...Don't let a 'good' tragedy go to waste..."

Eta : Could a mod delete my double post ? Sorry --waited too long to delete it.

ISIS should be sued. Than again, they need to be wiped out.
