France is to sue the Australian streaming platform Kick for "negligence" after a French user died during a livestream earlier this month, a government minister said on Tuesday. In a separate announcement, French prosecutors said they had opened an investigation into the platform.
The Kick platform has come under scrutiny in France after a 46-year-old Frenchman died during a 12-day live streaming marathon on his channel, which specialised in him enduring abuse or humiliation dished out by other participants.
