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?
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
Solution
The person who made this statement clearly sees a ―citizen‖ as having different motivations and
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
concerns than a ―consumer.‖ Presumably, a citizen is mostly concerned with the good of society
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
as a whole, and therefore would be open to the idea of government regulation that restricted
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
thenegative influence of social media, regardless of the First Amendment. A consumer, by
vv v vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
contrast, would be primarily concerned with having a marketplace that offers the widest possible
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
varieties of freedom (of choice, of speech, etc.) and would for that reason be opposed to
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
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
