A viral social media claim that Church of Scientology buildings in Hollywood are now locking doors from the inside to thwart teen speedruns has spread across social media platforms and deepened debate around the stunt.
In recent weeks, a series of videos circulating on social media has shown groups of teenagers sprinting into the Church of Scientology information centre on Hollywood Boulevard as part of an online challenge known as 'speedruns', prompting allegations that the church has responded by securing its doors from within to prevent further incursions. At the same time, law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles are probing the incidents as possible criminal and safety matters.
