Feel free to use any of these questions in your interview with an adult:
- "What do you think are the tradeoffs of social media? What do we gain and lose with social media?"
- "Have you followed the recent events of violent episodes preceded by violent language on social media? What's your reaction to these events?" (Mention the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting, mailed pipe bombs incident, and possibly others . . .)
- "Do you think social media companies bear some responsibility for violence? For toxic, violent language on their platforms? Why/why not?"
- "Should private social media companies censor hate speech or create more avenues to confront hate speech? What do you think?"
Note that the questions above work in an order where they have some "warm-up" questions -- questions that are easy at first and allow the interviewee to just start talking.
Feel free to add any questions you want to, and to conduct the interview in any way that gets your interviewee talking. If YOU are doing most the talking then the interview isn't working!
Finally, be sure to record the interview (audio or tale notes) so if there's a great quote you can come back to it and use it for your essay.
