1. One observer has said that the American legal system should evaluate social media companies based o n
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
how ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as consumers.‖ What is your opinion of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
this2statement?
Solution
Thepersonwhomadethisstatementclearlyseesa―citizen‖ashavingdifferentmotivationsandconcerns than a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of society as a whole, and t herefore j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
would be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted thenegative influence of so cial media,
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by contrast, would be primarily concerned with having a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
marketplace that offers the widest possible varieties of freedom (of choice, of speech, etc. j j j j j j j j j j j j j
) and would for that reason be opposed to government regulation of social media. There is, however, an argument
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
to be made that the citizens that make up a society benefit when the marketplace of ideas— whether they are
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
subjectively
―positive‖ or ―negative‖—is allowed to flourish in the absence of government regulation. j j j j j j j j j j j
2. Tim Cook, Apple‘s chief operating officer, has suggested that the United States Congress shouldpass a l aw
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
limiting the ability of Apple and other tech countries to keep consumer data private. Why would a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
business executive make such a request? j j j j j
