DEFINITIONS OF INTENTIONAL TORTS TO PERSONS; TRANSFERRED INTENT § 10. Participation in an Intentional Tort U.S.2023. Com. (c) quot. in sup. (quoting T.D. No. 3, 2018). Family of victim who was killed in a terrorist attack in Turkey filed an action under the Antiterrorism Act against operators of social-media platforms, alleging that defendants aided and abetted the terrorist organization that carried out the attack by knowingly allowing it to use their platforms and algorithms as tools for recruiting, fundraising, and spreading propaganda. The district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss. The court of appeals in part reversed and remanded. This court reversed, holding that plaintiffs failed to allege that defendants gave such knowing and substantial assistance to the terrorist organization that they culpably participated in the attack. The court, however, rejected defendants' argument that they were liable only if they directly aided and abetted the attack, explaining that, under Restatement Third of Torts: Intentional Torts to Persons § 10, Comment c, aiding and abetting did not require a defendant to have known all particulars of the primary actor's plan.
