Four Square
People use foursquare to "check-in", which is a way of telling us your whereabouts. When you check-in someplace, we'll tell your friends where they can find you and recommend places to go & things to do nearby. People check-in at all kind of places - cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, homes, offices.
You'll find that as your friends use foursquare to check-in, you'll start learning more about the places they frequent. Not only is it a great way to meet up with nearby friends, but you'll also start to learn about their favorite spots and the new places they discover.

Areas to consider:
• Freedom of expression vs preaching of hate/prejudice
• Creativity vs copyright
• Protection of children
• Criminal activity and the upholding of laws
• Quality control
• What methods of regulation are there; and are they workable?
• *How would all the above work in comparison to television regulation?*
• *Case study examples*
