Eddington references to "YouTube first amendment auditors"
I just within the last month or so started to actually learn about these "first amendment auditors" that Ted and Joe mention during their confrontation outside the police station, and I feel like I've been living under a rock with these videos. Personally I understand the point about their rights and the first amendment and all that, I know what they do technically isn't illegal, but they kind of undermine themselves by not admitting they want to provoke reactions for their YouTube channels and create situations where they can sue people. And I feel if anything, their actions would have the opposite effect of what they intend, if they truly want to just educate people on the first amendment.
But I honestly don't mean to post this to start a debate about those guys, I just wanted to point out how Ari was ahead of the curve to write about these people in his script and reference them in the movie, because I think outside of certain subsections of YouTube and social media scrollers these "first amendment auditors" and the whole concept isn't well-known by the general public. Just another example of why Eddington may prove more and more over time to be a prescient movie and a reliable document of the times we're living in.
