The correct answer is B) These rights have had to be reinterpreted to consider how people use new types of communication.

What this case indicates about First Amendment rights in the 21st century is that these rights have had to be reinterpreted to consider how people use new types of communication.

Social media has no regulation at all. Through social media, anyone in anonymity could cause severe damage posting a lie that can become a “truth”, just by resending it hundreds or thousands of times. First Amendment rights must be reinterpreted to consider how people use new types of communication. People need to be responsible in what they post through social media because the thin line that separates the public life and the personal life some times is not distinguished at all.
