What is the best place to find authentic on the ground live streams of protests? It was easy to find them during 2020 but now all I find it big news companies streaming and sometimes it's just rerun footage. I'm not trying watch social media personalities or mass media.

I would look to many. 2 of them are majors, but they seem legit. The last 2 are sketchy in that I have no idea who they are.

Associated Press: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXT945ZJNCI (shutdown) New one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXT945ZJNCI

Reuters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSNMZEjRBsk

Agenda-free TV (?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BrsI2vVHKA

AXN News (?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kmwdCmOkdQ

Edit:

Look beyond the smoke. Smoke is an easy way to make it look "scary."

    Someone linked this to me last night, seems like a bunch of people all livestreaming the protest at the same time.

    If youtube isn't giving the results you want, I would use https://inv.nadeko.net/. I can search "LA Live" I can find at least a few channels that aren't corporate like: "Dad's Gone Live", "Agenda Free Media", and also an associated press stream, but not sure if that's what you want.

    Hasanabi just streamed from the front line for like, 8 hours.

    The few times I've been around for the organising of live streams, we've either done it directly to our own socials and/or an independent journo might come and either stream or record some stuff, but I don't think I ever got their names when that's been organised ahead of time.

    At one I attended, the organisers provided burner phones for people to livestream an action, I believe to their personal accounts? I never saw the footage of it though.

    I spent the entire day on the Citizen app.
