The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a challenge to federal protections for internet and social media companies freeing them of responsibility for content posted by users in a case involving an American student fatally shot in a 2015 rampage by Islamist militants in Paris. The justices took up an appeal by the parents and other relatives of Nohemi Gonzalez, a 23-year-old woman from California who was studying in Paris, of a lower court's ruling that cleared Google LLC- owned YouTube (both part of Alphabet Inc GOOGL.O ) of wrongdoing in a lawsuit seeking monetary damages that the family brought under a U.S. anti-terrorism law. - Reuters
