The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear arguments in a lawsuit against X, formerly known as Twitter, by two individuals who claim the social media platform was responsible for their sexual exploitation.In an orders list released Monday, the Supreme Court denied certiorari without comment in the case of John Doe et al. v. X Corp., allowing a lower court ruling in favor of X to stand.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), which is helping represent the two anonymous plaintiffs, expressed disappointment with the high court’s decision declining the appeal.
“Does our country really allow corporations to commit federal crimes, like knowingly distributing child sexual abuse material, without consequences?” said Dani Pinter, chief legal officer at NCOSE, in a statement.
“If this can happen to our clients without accountability, every parent and every American should be asking what protections children truly have online today.”
