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