Adapting the Law to the Online Environment

1. One observer has said that the American legal system should evaluate social media companies based on how
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as consumers.‖ What is your opinion of this
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
statement?
Solution
The person who made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations and concerns than a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of society as a whole, and therefore j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
would be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted the negative influence of social media,
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by contrast, would be primarily concerned with having a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
marketplace that offers the widest possible varieties of freedom (of choice, of speech, etc.) and would for that
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
reason be opposed to government regulation of social media. There is, however, an argument to be made that
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
the citizens that make up a society benefit when the marketplace of ideas— whether they are subjectively
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
―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
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
limiting the ability of Apple and other tech countries to keep consumer data private. Why would a business
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
executive make such a request? j j j j
