Adapting the Law to the Online Environment
b b b b b b


1. One observer has said that the American legal system should evaluate social media companies based
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


on how ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as consumers.‖ What is your
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


opinion of this statement?
b b b b




Solution
The person who made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations and
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bconcerns than a ―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of society as a
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bwhole, and therefore would be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted thenegative
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


binfluence of social media, regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by contrast, would be
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bprimarily concerned with having a marketplace that offers the widest possible varieties of freedom (of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bchoice, of speech, etc.) and would for that reason be opposed to government regulation of social
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bmedia. There is, however, an argument to be made that the citizens that make up a society benefit
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bwhen the marketplace of ideas—whether they are subjectively
b b b b 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
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


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


a business executive make such a request?
