Critical Thinking Questions in Features

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