A federal judge signaled at a hearing on Wednesday that he intends to dismiss a lawsuit accusing Twitter of enabling the growth of the terrorist group ISIS. The case was brought by the widow of a man killed at a police training center in Jordan. U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick in San Francisco indicated at the hearing that he the widow's complaint didn't include enough facts to make out violations of the federal Anti-Terrorism Act. Twitter was represented at the hearing by former U.S. solicitor general Seth Waxman.
