ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Project Chanology

Project Chanology was a big group of people who were upset with a group called the Church of Scientology. They did lots of things to let people know how they felt about this group.

The Church of Scientology is a group that lots of people don't like because they say they do bad things to their members and they try to stop people from saying things about them. So, some people decided they wanted to do something to show the world that the Church of Scientology was not a good group.

Project Chanology started by making fun of Scientology on the internet. They did this by posting funny pictures and videos about the group. Some people in the group also organized protests where they would stand outside of Scientology buildings and hold up signs saying things like "Scientology is a scam!"

But Project Chanology got in trouble for what they were doing. The Church of Scientology said they were being harassed and some of the people in the group got sued. So, Project Chanology had to stop doing some of the things they were doing.

However, Project Chanology still showed that people can come together and share their thoughts on an issue they care about. They also showed that the internet can be a powerful tool for sharing ideas and organizing people.
