    Well. Devil’s advocate, they are holding the streaming service responsible because they didn’t block the stream, which presumably would presumably disrupt the streamer’s actions. I don’t personally think Kick should be responsible at all.

      Yeah I don’t think the company should be legally responsible, since the streamers were investigated for abuse and subsequently cleared by police. Was there something the platform was legally obligated to do further? We can say it was morally wrong to allow the streaming of that type of content, yes

        Yeah, I wouldn’t watch it. I also don’t watch boxing or football. They probably should have shut them down if they are policing their streams at all.

      Yeah, I don’t see how they’re responsible either, but I’m getting lots of emotional replies and nobody actually seems to want to admit they’re advocating censorship. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.

          Yeah, like all those laws about Israel and Palestine and such. Definitely no pesky emotions involved, no sirree

            The law that oblige all UN stste members to stop isrsel terrorisms? Yes they should be applied

              Yes they should. Not my point. You still trying to argue that law doesn’t involve emotion?

                That’s not what ‘law is emotionless’ means. It means that the law should be applied regardless of the emotions of the culpable person, their family, or sympathizers.

                    You claimed that the platform and the guys who was responsible of his death shouldn’t be punished although that is not what the law say

          Nobody has ever denied that censorship can sometimes be good. The problem has always been who gets to decide when it’s good and when it isn’t?

              Okay. Fine. Who do you want to have control of what you can see, hear and read?

                I think Kick should be able to censor streams on their service that are showing torture. They are not, and should not be, obligated to provide their services to show that content.
