  • 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.

    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.
