- A 46-year-old French streamer died on camera during a 10-day marathon broadcast featuring sleep deprivation and physical challenges.
- Viewers watched him lie motionless for an extended period before co-streamers checked on him after being alerted through donations.
- What happened raises serious questions about dangerous streaming content and platform moderation on sites like Kick.
my take is that a platform is responsible because it monetizes this content and provides pay to it’s users. I see this as a platform encouraging this behavior in the worst case, and a platform being ignorant and not caring about this behavior in the best.
When you are poor/in need of money to survive, you might choose to do these things that this site allows you to do, thus it is responsible in that way (imo :3)
So we create a Foxconn environment where workers cannot jump to death?
The problem is poverty. Soon after platform providers have to censor content, they will have to censor all critical content. Then abuse will increase and poverty will increase, too.
We have to help the poor directly. We don’t help them by giving up our freedoms.
Right, we should end poverty instead.
Fortunately it shouldn’t be nearly as difficult as imposing minimal regulations on Kick
It is difficult but that would create the opportunity to actually solve it.
