Purpose: To prompt students to plan and write a persuasive speech debating whether the U.S. should enact more laws that regulate social media companies and the content they host.

Intended audience: A high school social studies class (the teacher and classmates).

Possible thesis: "Yes — the government should pass more laws holding social media companies partially responsible for harmful content because stronger regulation is needed to curb misinformation, protect public safety, and ensure platform transparency, while still protecting free‑speech rights."
