Adapting the Law to the Online Environment
bb bb bb bb bb bb
1. One observer has said that the American legal system should evaluate social media
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
companies based on how ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
consumers.‖ What is your opinion of this statement?
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
Solution
The person who made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
and concerns than a ―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
society as a whole, and therefore would be open to the idea of government regulation that
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
restricted thenegative influence of social media, regardless of the First Amendment. A
bb bb b bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
consumer, by contrast, would be primarily concerned with having a marketplace that offers
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
the widest possible varieties of freedom (of choice, of speech, etc.) and would for that
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
reason be opposed to government regulation of social media. There is, however, an
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
argument to be made that the citizens that make up a society benefit when the
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
marketplace of ideas—whether they are subjectively
bb bb bb bb bb bb
―positive‖ or ―negative‖—is allowed to flourish in the absence of government regulation.
