Interpreting the First Amendment in the Social Media Age

July 18, 2019 by Tiffany M. Shrenk, Esq.

First Amendment_Free photo 95593426 © creativecommonsstockphotos - Dreamstime.com

By David Srinivasan, Law Clerk and Tiffany M. Shrenk, Esquire-

Gone are the days of President Roosevelt’s fireside chats; we now have mediums, like Twitter and Facebook, to hear from our leaders, both domestic and international. Since the turn of the century, technologies—and social media platforms, in particular—have changed the landscape of American society and how we interact with one another. In outpacing the development of the laws governing them, social media’s meteoric rise has presented new challenges for the courts to resolve. Although the framers of the Constitution did not have hashtags and character limits in mind when crafting the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment’s implications on Twitter, and other virtual spaces like it, represent a few of the recent challenges facing the courts.

Recently, the Second Circuit further defined the contours of the First Amendment in the social media age. On Tuesday, July 9, 2019, the federal appeals court in Manhattan—in addressing the question of whether President Trump may block users on his personal twitter account—issued a narrow, 29-page ruling. Judge Barrington D. Parker, writing for the unanimous three-judge panel, explained that “[t]he First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise-open dialogue because they expressed views which the official disagrees.” Although the account in question was President Trump’s personal account, the Court noted that “[b]ecause the President . . . acts in an official capacity when he tweets, we conclude that he acts in the same capacity when he blocks those who disagree with him.”

This ruling, concluding that President Trump engaged in “unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination,” upholds the Southern District of New York’s prior 75-page decision. Although this is the most recent development in the lawsuit filed by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University on behalf of seven people blocked from the @realDonaldTrump account, it may not be the last. The Department of Justice may petition the Supreme Court to take up the issue in the next term and provide further guidance of what the First Amendment means in the social media age.

Insurance Information for Rideshare Drivers

March 26, 2019 by Tiffany M. Shrenk, Esq.

By Tiffany M. Shrenk, Esquire-

Rideshare Insurance_ID 125737563 © Tero Vesalainen | Dreamstime.com

Uber or Lyft rideshare drivers cannot rely upon their automobile insurance for coverage for motor vehicle accidents and doing so will leave them with costly gaps in coverage. That is because personal automobile insurance policies cover you only when you are driving your car for your personal use and typically contain an exclusion denying coverage when you operate your motor vehicle for business purposes. For rideshare drivers, this means that when they are driving with the rideshare app on, a personal automobile insurance policy does not cover them.

To assist with closing these gaps in coverage, Uber and Lyft both offer their insurance coverage for rideshare drivers. But just as with personal auto coverage, the Uber and Lyft policies also leave gaps in treatment. It is important to realize the different situations you will find yourself in if you are a rideshare driver and understand what insurance applies to you in each of those phases.

First, if you are a rideshare driver but you are driving your car for your personal use, and your rideshare app is off, Uber or Lyft insurance does not cover you. Instead, you would need your insurance to cover you for any incident that occurs while driving for your personal use and the rideshare app is off.

The next situation, commonly referred to as “Phase 1” to consider is when you have the rideshare app on, and you are waiting for a rider. Your automobile policy does not cover you in this situation, and there is only limited coverage provided to you by the Uber and Lyft insurance.

Phase 2 arises when you have the rideshare app on and are driving to pick up a rider. Just as in Phase 1, you are not typically covered by your auto insurance for incidents that occur during this phase. Uber and Lyft insurance policies provide coverage, but with high deductibles for damage to your vehicle ($1,000 under the Uber policy and $2,500 under the Lyft policy).

The final rideshare driver situation occurs when the app is on, and you have the rider on board. Incidents that occur during this “Phase 3” is covered by Uber or Lyft insurance, not by a personal auto policy, and have the high deductibles for damage to your vehicle.

From reviewing these scenarios, we see how Uber or Lyft insurance on top of your car insurance policy provides you with greater protection, but still leaves you with gaps in coverage. Automobile insurance carriers have created rideshare insurance to close these gaps in coverage, which is a hybrid auto plan covering drivers in situations of personal use and ridesharing. Rideshare insurance premiums are more expensive than personal auto policies, but they extend coverage limits and deductibles to you when you are ridesharing so that you can ensure protection for you and your passengers in the event of an accident.
