First Amendment Auditors are breaking the internet. Their videos, often featuring intense confrontations with law enforcement, government officials, and everyday people, are drawing massive online audiences and igniting debates over constitutional rights, particularly Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech.
To better understand this phenomenon, I met with @NastyNathanial69 and @FirstAmendmentRights to hear their stories, explore their motivations and reasoning, and learn about their challenges in the field. I also spoke with @frauditortroll @frauditorsexposed and @poeonthego who shared their insights into the legitimacy and legalities of First Amendment Auditors. Join me as I meet with both sides of this growing movement.
