French government demands answers over streamer's death


Livestreaming platform Kick said it is "urgently reviewing" the circumstances of Jean Pormanove's death.

France's digital affairs and artificial intelligence (AI) minister Clara Chappaz wrote in a post on X on Tuesday, external Pormanove had been "humiliated" and "mistreated" during streams on the platform for months, and said an inquiry into his death was underway. Posts on social media and local reports claim that prior to his death, Mr Graven was subjected to sleep deprivation and bouts of physical violence during lengthy streams on Kick. Owen Cenazandotti, a fellow French streamer who appeared alongside Mr Graven in his recent streaming marathon, has asked followers not to share videos of his "last breath" in a post on Instagram.
