"Following the demise of Jean Pormanove, authorities demand increased rigor towards online platforms"
The French Communications Regulatory Authority (ARCOM) has launched an investigation into the legality and dissemination of controversial content on the streaming platform Kick, following a statement by Arthur Delaporte, deputy and spokesperson for the Socialist Party and president of the commission of inquiry into the psychological effects of TikTok on minors.
The investigation comes after the death of a 46-year-old streamer, which occurred two days before the question of the content's legality and dissemination was raised (August 18). The content in question is currently under investigation, and its removal has been advocated by Arthur Delaporte.
The ARCOM's investigation is separate from the ongoing investigation into the content by the authorities. The Kick platform is under scrutiny for its lax moderation in relation to the content in question, a concern that has been raised due to its potential impact on the mental health of minors.
Arthur Delaporte's commission of inquiry into the psychological effects of TikTok on minors will be examining the content's legality and dissemination on September 4. The Kick platform, available in France with the same obligations as other platforms, has previously used its lax moderation as a marketing argument.
The investigation was initiated following an article published by Libération, which reported on the death of the streamer and the content related to it. The search results do not provide information about the organization that investigated the illicit content and its distribution.
Arthur Delaporte was quoted in Libération on Wednesday, August 20, stating that illicit content must be removed by platforms. The ARCOM has been seized following this article, and the commission of inquiry into the psychological effects of TikTok on minors is examining the content's legality and dissemination.
The investigation into the Kick platform's handling of the content in question is ongoing, and the public awaits the findings of both the ARCOM and the commission of inquiry into the psychological effects of TikTok on minors.
