Critical Thinking Questions in Features
Adapting the Laẉ to the Online Environment
1. One observer has said that the American legal system should evaluate social media companies based on
hoẉ ―they affect us as citizens, not only [on hoẉ] they affect us as consumers.‖ Ẉhat is your opinion of
this statement?
Solution
The person ẉho made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations and concerns
than a ―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned ẉith the good of society as a ẉhole, and
therefore ẉould be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted thenegative influence of
social media, regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by contrast, ẉould be primarily concerned
ẉith having a marketplace that offers the ẉidest possible varieties of freedom (of choice, of speech, etc.)
and ẉould for that reason be opposed to government regulation of social media. There is, hoẉever, an
argument to be made that the citizens that make up a society benefit ẉhen the marketplace of ideas—
ẉhether they are subjectively
―positive‖ or ―negative‖—is alloẉed to flourish in the absence of government regulation.
2. Tim Cook, Apple‘s chief operating officer, has suggested that the United States Congress shouldpass a
laẉ limiting the ability of Apple and other tech countries to keep consumer data private. Ẉhy ẉould a
business executive make such a request?
