Woman Sues Twitter For Giving ISIS a Platform Online
http://www.wired.com/2016/01/woman-sues-twitter-for-giving-isis-a-platform-online/
Fields is not only seeking damages in the suit. She's
also urging the court to enter an order declaring that Twitter
has violated the Anti-Terrorism Act. If Fields wins, this could
be a precedent-setting lawsuit, making Twitter accountable not
only to governments looking to contain terrorist speech online,
but also liable to families affected by that activity. It would
also, no doubt, have implications far beyond Twitter, putting
tech companies across Silicon Valley on warning.

What's her standing to sue, again? Oh, right, she doesn't have one.
