France to take streaming platform Kick to court

Paris [France], August 28: Over a week after the on-camera death of a popular video game streamer, the French government said it would take the platform Kick to court.
The streamer, who went by the stage name Jean Pormanove and had hundreds of thousands of followers, used various social media platforms for gaming broadcasts, but also repeatedly subjected himself to extreme challenges online.
The 46-year-old died during his final broadcast in the early hours of August 18.
According to France's Digital Affairs Ministry, the court action aims to "stop the damage done by the content involved in this tragedy and disseminated by the platform, as well as to assess the risks posed by other content."
