French authorities have started a legal case against Kick, an Australian live-streaming platform. This follows the death of French influencer Raphael Graven, known as Jean Pormanove, during a livestream challenge that lasted about 10 days. Graven faced violence and humiliation on the platform before his death. France's Digital Minister Clara Chappaz accused Kick of negligence for not stopping harmful content. Paris prosecutors are investigating if Kick broke laws by allowing videos showing attacks on personal safety. Kick said it is cooperating and banned those involved. The case highlights concerns about live-streaming sites and user safety. Kick is known for fewer content rules and paying streamers more, but this has raised worries about violent and harmful content. The investigation may lead to fines and stricter rules for such platforms. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 12:54 IST; source: link)
