A viral 'speedrun' stunt on TikTok targeting Scientology buildings has reportedly prompted the organisation to remove door handles from some entrances. However, the move has triggered discussions about safety, secrecy and public interference in Clearwater, Florida, where the Church of Scientology maintains a major presence.
Scientology has been under public scrutiny for many years. It was founded in the 1950s by writer L. Ron Hubbard and has often been debated and criticised. Its buildings, particularly in Florida, California and the UK, are frequently discussed online and are sometimes targeted by protests or curiosity-driven visits.
