Investigation Underway on the Death of an Influencer, Publicly Humiliated and Assaulted During a Live Stream by Streamers Based in France
The death of French influencer Raphaël Graven, known as Jean Pormanove online, has sent shockwaves through the digital community and ignited a debate about the role of online platforms in the dissemination of violent or degrading content.
Graven, who was followed by over half a million people on social media, was found lifeless on Sunday night. The initial scene showed no suspicious signs, but subsequent events have led authorities to launch a criminal investigation.
Images of Graven's body were shared on the video platform Kick, which has since removed them. The images showed Graven on a mattress, covered by a blanket, with other men attempting to wake him up. The identities of these individuals are not specified in the available search results.
Clara Chappaz, the Secretary of State for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy, has condemned the circumstances of Graven's death as "horrible". She has called for the intervention of the public platform Pharos and the audiovisual regulator Arcom, emphasising that the responsibility of platforms for the content they broadcast "is not an option, it's the law".
Chappaz is not alone in her condemnation. The French Government has also issued a statement, calling Graven's death "horrible". The debate about the role of platforms in the dissemination of violent or degrading content has been rekindled due to the events surrounding Graven's death.
Graven was known for participating in live streams where he received humiliation and abuse from other content creators. Clara Chappaz wrote on X that "Jean Pormanove's death and the violence he suffered is an absolute horror", and that he was humiliated and abused for months live on the Kick platform.
The Prosecutor's Office in Nice has launched an investigation into Graven's death. The Prosecutor's Office has not ruled out any hypotheses regarding the cause of Graven's death, and several interrogations are planned in relation to the case. The autopsy of Graven's body has not yet been performed.
This tragic event has sparked a call for action from those who believe that more needs to be done to protect individuals from online abuse. The debate continues, with many questioning whether enough is being done to regulate online platforms and prevent such incidents from happening again.
As the investigation continues, the digital community waits with bated breath for answers and a resolution to this heartbreaking case.
