"We have a sufficient arsenal of laws": after the death of Jean Pormanove, elected officials call for greater firmness against platforms
How could episodes of violence and humiliation like those experienced by Jean Pormanove have escaped sanctions? Two days after the 46-year-old streamer's death, live on air on Monday, August 18, the question of the legality of the content and its dissemination is being raised. First and foremost, the responsibility of the Kick platform, which hosted this content and whose poor moderation was a marketing ploy, is clearly being called into question.
"Whatever the nature of the content, as long as it is illicit, the platform must remove it," Arthur Delaporte, deputy, spokesperson, and "digital man" for the Socialist Party, insisted to Libération on Wednesday, August 20. "Kick is available in France and has all the same obligations as other platforms," points out the man who is also president of the commission of inquiry into the psychological effects of TikTok on minors, whose report will be examined on September 4.
