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

whether they are subjectively b b b
―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 law

limiting the ability of Apple and other tech countries to keep consumer data private. Why would a business

executive make such a request?
