1. One observer has said that the American legal system should evaluate social media companies based
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
on how ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on how] they affect us as consumers.‖ What is your opinio
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
n of this statement?
ya ya ya
Solution
The person who made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations and concern
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
s than a ―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of society as a whole, and
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
therefore would be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted thenegative influence of s
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ay ya ya ya
ocial media, regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by contrast, would be primarily concerne
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
d with having a marketplace that offers the widest possible varieties of freedom (of choice, of speech, e
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
tc.) and would for that reason be opposed to government regulation of social media. There is, however,
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
an argument to be made that the citizens that make up a society benefit when the marketplace of idea
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
s—whether they are subjectively ya ya ya
―positive‖ or ―negative‖—is allowed to flourish in the absence of government regulation.

business executive make such a request? ya ya ya ya ya
