Adapting vthe vLaw vto vthe vOnline vEnvironment
1. One vobserver vhas vsaid vthat vthe vAmerican vlegal vsystem vshould vevaluate vsocial vmedia vcompanies
vbased von vhow v―they vaffect vus vas vcitizens, vnot vonly v[on vhow] vthey vaffect vus vas vconsumers.‖ vWhat vis
vyour vopinion vof vthis vstatement?
Solution
The vperson vwho vmade vthis vstatement vclearly vsees va v―citizen‖ vas vhaving vdifferent vmotivations vand
vconcerns vthan va v―consumer.‖ vPresumably, va vcitizen vis v mostly vconcerned vwith vthe vgood vof vsociety vas va
vwhole, vand vtherefore vwould vbe vopen vto vthe videa vof vgovernment vregulation vthat vrestricted vthevnegative
vinfluence vof vsocial vmedia, vregardless vof vthe vFirst vAmendment. vA vconsumer, vby vcontrast, vwould vbe
vprimarily vconcerned vwith vhaving va vmarketplace vthat voffers vthe vwidest vpossible vvarieties vof vfreedom
v(of vchoice, vof vspeech, vetc.) vand vwould vfor vthat vreason vbe vopposed vto vgovernment vregulation vof vsocial
vmedia. vThere vis, vhowever, van vargument vto vbe vmade vthat vthe vcitizens vthat vmake vup va vsociety vbenefit
vwhen vthe vmarketplace vof videas—whether vthey vare vsubjectively
―positive‖ vor v―negative‖—is vallowed vto vflourish vin vthe vabsence vof vgovernment vregulation.
2. Tim vCook, vApple‘s vchief voperating vofficer, vhas vsuggested vthat vthe vUnited vStates vCongress vshouldvpass
va vlaw vlimiting vthe vability vof vApple vand vother vtech vcountries vto vkeep vconsumer vdata vprivate. vWhy
vwould va vbusiness vexecutive vmake vsuch va vrequest?
