Adapting the Law to the Online Environment

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


based on how ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as consumers.‖ What
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


is your opinion of this statement?
m m m m m m




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


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


ma whole, and therefore would be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


negative influence of social media, regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by contrast,
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mwould be primarily concerned with having a marketplace that offers the widest possible varieties
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mof freedom (of choice, of speech, etc.) and would for that reason be opposed to government
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mregulation of social media. There is, however, an argument to be made that the citizens that
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mmake up a society benefit when the marketplace of ideas—whether they are subjectively
m m m m m m m m m m m m


―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 should

pass 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?
