Streamer Jean Pormanove died during a Kick livestream. French authorities are investigating Kick, alleging the platform knowingly broadcast harmful content. Kick denies this, claiming the content was pre-planned and scripted, and that Pormanove's death occurred during a typical stream. Kick accuses the French government of politicizing the tragedy and says it cooperated fully with authorities. The platform removed the content showing Pormanove's death and suspended related accounts.
