"...as they joked about their obsession with her bizarre captions, they became alarmed by some of Spears’s posts and read up on the legality of her situation. They began attending court hearings, and, after a tip-off from a paralegal associated with the case, released an episode called “#FreeBritney” that galvanised the movement. Here, they chart the story from their perspective."
