1. One ooobserver oohas oosaid oothat oothe ooAmerican oolegal oosystem ooshould ooevaluate oosocial oomedia
oocompanies oobased ooon oohow oo―they ooaffect oous ooas oo citizens, oonot ooonly oo[on oohow] oothey ooaffect
oous ooas ooconsumers.‖ ooWhat oois ooyour ooopinion ooof oothis oostatement?
Solution
The ooperson oowho oomade oothis oostatement ooclearly oosees ooa oo―citizen‖ ooas oohaving oodifferent
oomotivations ooand ooconcerns oothan ooa oo―consumer.‖ ooPresumably, ooa oocitizen oois oo mostly ooconcerned
oowith oothe oogood ooof oo society ooas ooa oowhole, ooand ootherefore oowould oobe ooopen ooto oothe ooidea ooof
oogovernment ooregulation oothat oorestricted ootheo negative ooinfluence ooof oosocial oomedia, ooregardless ooof
oothe ooFirst ooAmendment. ooA ooconsumer, ooby oocontrast, oowould oobe ooprimarily ooconcerned oowith
oohaving ooa oomarketplace oothat oooffers oothe oowidest oopossible oovarieties ooof oofreedom oo(of oochoice, ooof
oospeech, ooetc.) ooand oowould oofor oothat ooreason oobe ooopposed ooto oogovernment ooregulation ooof oosocial
oomedia. ooThere oois, oohowever, ooan ooargument ooto oobe oomade oothat oothe oocitizens oothat oomake ooup ooa
oosociety oobenefit oowhen oothe oomarketplace ooof ooideas—whether oothey ooare oosubjectively
―positive‖ ooor oo―negative‖—is ooallowed ooto ooflourish ooin oothe ooabsence ooof oogovernment ooregulation.
2. Tim ooCook, ooApple‘s oochief oooperating ooofficer, oohas oosuggested oothat oothe ooUnited ooStates ooCongress
ooshouldo
pass ooa oolaw oolimiting oothe ooability ooof ooApple ooand ooother ootech oocountries ooto ookeep
ooconsumer oodata ooprivate. ooWhy oowould ooa oobusiness ooexecutive oomake oosuch ooa oorequest?
