Overview
- Respect Zone filed a complaint on October 2, revealed by France Info on November 15, accusing Kick of complicity in broadcasting real-time assaults and allowing explicit content to be reached by minors.
- The filing cites live incidents involving Jean Pormanove and Coudoux, describing blows, thrown objects and humiliations shown to large audiences.
- The association says these streams triggered numerous reports to Kick and to Pharos, and its lawyer contends channels with violent or sexual material remain visible to all, including minors.
- After Pormanove’s death during a 12‑day stream in August, prosecutors opened investigations, and an autopsy found no third‑party intervention, indicating likely medical or toxicological causes.
- The government has indicated plans to pursue Kick for breaches under the LCEN, and Respect Zone’s president now alleges lax age checks and persistent pornographic content; Kick did not respond to new requests for comment.
