Read the following letter to the editor.
To the Editor:
Defective airplanes, tobacco products, cars without seatbelts and social media posts: One of these things is not like the others.
The surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy proposes applying warning labels to social media platforms as if they are surely dangerous, like cigarettes and airplanes whose doors fall off during a flight. But there’s another way social media is different: It’s a tool we use to express ourselves. As such, its use is protected by the First .
This isn’t the first time the government has tried to regulate expression in the name of protecting kids. It tried to do so in the 1950s with comics, the 1980s with rock music and the 1990s with video games. We now look back on these efforts as misguided and unconstitutional.
Nico Perrino
Washington
The writer is the executive vice president of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
(www.nytimes.com, 24.06.2024. Adapted.)
First Amendment: an item in the American Constitution that guarantees the people freedom concerning religion and expression, among other rights.
It is the letter writer’s explicit position on protection protocols:
the regulation of expression never worked in the past, and will not work again now.
imposing restrictions on what people think has always been an impossible task.
protecting kids by controlling their freedom of expression is erroneous and illegal.
the First Amendment has failed to adequately keep freedom of expression safe.
warning labels is the best way to prevent undesirable events from happening.
O comando da questão solicita a opinião explícita do autor a respeito dos protocolos de proteção nas redes sociais. A alternativa C é a única correta, pois ela diz que proteger as crianças controlando sua liberdade de expressão é errado e ilegal, o que é confirmado ao final da carta quando o autor diz que os esforços de regulação similares a esse eram errados (misguided) e ilegais (unconstitutional). As demais alternativas ou apresentam uma interpretação incorreta da visão do leitor (B e E) ou indicam posicionamentos implícitos dele (A e D).
