4. Sociopathy masquerading as journalism
Sat Oct 25, 2025, 01:46 PM

Only thing new about this is tv news is covering it (which is a good thing). It is a very well established movement of sociopath activists looking to profit off of offensive confrontations on Youtube.
They masquerade as "first amendment auditors". They claim to be stress-testing the first amendment but are simply emotionally abusing the public for profit.
Search for "frauditor" to see how big a problem this has become.
Their achilles heel is that YouTube requires a permission/release from people that are identifiable in videos. They lose the ability to profit if these complaints are verified by YouTube. Their bad faith dedication to "free speech" will become obvious. If they can't monetize the video, they will go away.
