Australian video platform Kick is being investigated by French authorities following the recent violent death of content creator "JP" during a live-streamed event.

La justice s’intéresse désormais à la responsabilité de Kick dans la diffusion de contenus violents, au-delà des circonstances du drame ayant coûté la vie à Jean Pormanove.

The probe, announced on Tuesday, will examine whether Kick 'knowingly' broadcast 'videos of deliberate attacks on personal integrity' after the death of Raphael Graven.
