“Serious breaches”: France attacks Kick in court following the live death of Jean Pormanove

Clara Chappaz criticizes Kick for not having done what was in his power in the case of the death of Raphaël Graven, which we know under the pseudonym Jean Pormanov. Reminder of the facts: It was on the night of August 17 to 18 that the 46 -year -old streamer died in front of thousands of live viewers.

Kick in the viewfinder of the French authorities

According to the autopsy conclusions, there is no “Traumatic lesion” and none “Intervention of a third party” explains the Nice prosecutor. So certainly, the stream did not cause the death of Jean Pormanove, but the case asks questions about the responsibility of the Australian platform upstream.

The Paris prosecutor’s office conducts his investigation in parallel with that of Nice to establish if Kick has disseminated “knowingly” of videos of voluntary damage to the integrity of the person. For the French authorities, this is a very serious affair and Clara Chappaz hammered “I make my fight, we’ll let go” During the meeting in Bercy.

The minister asked for a “Inspection mission” to the various ministries to identify problems at Kick and check whether the legal arsenal guarantees “A secure space”.

Work will take place until next September to study how to block the possibility of monetizing violence like those under Jean Pormanove on Kick. The online hatred observatory will be reactivated in October. The same afternoon, the Minister went to the premises of the Anti-Cybercrime Office which manages the Pharos platform where the reports of Internet users are collected.

Clara Chappaz also asks Arch to re -examine all the problematic sites indicated by trusted associations for “Make the Internet safer and put an end to the drifts”.

The Minister denounces Kick’s lax behavior

Clara Chappaz denounces a “Digital West West” and qualifies the live broadcast of the death of Jean Pormanove as “Reality that went beyond fiction”. The Minister recalls that 200,000 people were subscribed to this channel and paid for content, in particular with the aim of pushing physical and psychological violence against Jean Pormanove. Kick did not answer questions about the income generated by this channel.

The Minister also criticizes Kick’s behavior since the drama since it took this death for the Australian platform to appoint a legal representative in Europe. Clara Chappaz met Kick employees on Friday, August 22, which she describes as “people in a stoned t-shirt who do not take the measure of the drama and have no answers to the questions”. “The platform is three years old and it is disconnected from what is going on” she believes.

The government promises sanctions if the Arcom’s investigation confirms Kick’s responsibility. Martin Ajdari, its president, however tempers the situation by recalling that the regulator did not “Direct skills” To suspend the chain of Raphaël Graven. This is the responsibility of the judge.
