Adaptingj thej Lawj toj thej Onlinej Environment
1. Onej observerj hasj saidj thatj thej Americanj legalj systemj shouldj evaluatej socialj mediaj
companiesj basedj onj howj ―theyj affectj usj asj citizens,j notj onlyj [onj how]j theyj affectj
usj asj consumers.‖j Whatj isj yourj opinionj ofj thisj statement?
Solution
Thej personj whoj madej thisj statementj clearlyj seesj aj ―citizen‖j asj havingj differentj
motivationsj andj concernsj thanj aj ―consumer.‖j Presumably,j aj citizenj isj mostlyj
concernedj withj thej goodj ofj societyj asj aj whole,j andj thereforej wouldj bej openj toj thej
ideaj ofj governmentj regulationj thatj restrictedj thejnegativej influencej ofj socialj media,j
regardlessj ofj thej Firstj Amendment.j Aj consumer,j byj contrast,j wouldj bej primarilyj
concernedj withj havingj aj marketplacej thatj offersj thej widestj possiblej varietiesj ofj
freedomj (ofj choice,j ofj speech,j etc.)j andj wouldj forj thatj reasonj bej opposedj toj
governmentj regulationj ofj socialj media.j Therej is,j however,j anj argumentj toj bej madej
thatj thej citizensj thatj makej upj aj societyj benefitj whenj thej marketplacej ofj ideas—
whetherj theyj arej subjectively
―positive‖j orj ―negative‖—isj allowedj toj flourishj inj thej absencej ofj governmentj regulation.
