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 how ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as consumers.‖ What is
your opinion of this statement?

Solution
The person who made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations and
concerns than a ―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of society as
a whole, and therefore 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 that reason be opposed to government
regulation of social media. There is, however, an argument to be made 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.
