> Raphaël Graven, known online as Jean Pormanove, was well-known on the streaming platform Kick. The 46-year-old former soldier was regularly beaten and abused by two other influencers during livestreams.
We need a new definition for influencers. I won’t deny adults the right to do what they want with their lives / life, but in this case influencers doesn’t feel accurate and transparent.
I would say 100% of their audience should be held accountable. Watching a crime take place, no matter how entertaining it seems, and not reporting it to the police is still a crime. In most civilised countries, complacent viewers are also responsible.
Influencers without complacent viewers are not influencers. Just like dumb people being encouraged by other dumb people to commit a crime are simply criminals. Being an influencer has little to do with it.
Torturing someone to make money, or paying to watch it, is a crime. Police should act accordingly, seize the servers, retrieve the IP addresses, and arrest the criminals.
