Overview

• Arcom president Martin Ajdari says the watchdog has no direct competence over Kick because the service is not established in France.
• He notes the law does not task Arcom with judging the legality of user posts or requesting removals, focusing its enforcement on platforms based in France.
• Ajdari calls for a new phase of digital regulation after abusive videos remained online for months without fresh reports.
• The Nice prosecutor says an autopsy ruled out third‑party intervention and found no traumatic lesions, with causes likely medical or toxicological pending after Pormanove’s August 18 on‑air death following more than 12 days of livestreamed abuse.
• Digital affairs minister Clara Chappaz says Kick employs about 75 moderators, none French‑speaking, to oversee hundreds of thousands of daily streams.
