Critical Thinking Questions in Features

Adapting’the’Law’to’the’Online’Environment
1. One’observer’has’said’that’the’American’legal’system’should’evaluate’social’media’companies’based’on’h
ow’―they’affect’us’as’citizens,’not’only’[on’how]’they’affect’us’as’consumers.‖’What’is’your’opinion’of’this’s
tatement?

Solution
The’person’who’made’this’statement’clearly’sees’a’―citizen‖’as’having’different’motivations’and’concerns’th
an’a’―consumer.‖’Presumably,’a’citizen’is’ mostly’concerned’with’the’good’of’society’as’a’whole,’and’therefo
re’would’be’open’to’the’idea’of’government’regulation’that’restricted’the’negative’influence’of’social’media
,’regardless’of’the’First’Amendment.’A’consumer,’by’contrast,’would’be’primarily’concerned’with’having’a’
marketplace’that’offers’the’widest’possible’varieties’of’freedom’(of’choice,’of’speech,’etc.)’and’would’for’t
hat’reason’be’opposed’to’government ’regulation’of’social’media.’There’is,’however,’an’argument’to’be’ma
de’that’the’citizens’that’make’up’a’society’benefit’when’the’marketplace’of’ideas—
whether’they’are’subjectively
―positive‖’or’―negative‖—is’ allowed’to’flourish’in’the’absence’of’government’regulation.

2. Tim’Cook,’Apple‘s’chief’operating’officer,’has’suggested’that’the’United’States’Congress’should’pass’a’law’l
imiting’the’ability’of’Apple’and’other’tech’countries’to’keep’consumer’data’private.’Why’would’a’business
’executive’make’such’a’request?
