France Targets Streaming Platform Kick After Livestreamed Death of Streamer Raphaël Graven

France is pursuing negligence claims and arrest warrants against managers of Kick, the Australia-based platform that hosted a 12-day live broadcast of abuse preceding streamer Raphaël Graven's death in August 2025. Kick remains under investigation. The case signals an effort to impose a duty-of-care standard on live-streaming platforms, extending beyond reactive content moderation — a precedent with potential reach across jurisdictions.
