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

2. Tim Cook, Apple‘s chief operating officer, has suggested that the United States Congress shouldpass a
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh
law limiting the ability of Apple and other tech countries to keep consumer data private. Why would
jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh jh
a business executive make such a request?
