Lokal Returns to Twitch After On-Air Death, Facing Backlash and Official Pressure

Prosecutors maintain investigations into abuse and platform compliance with French law.

Overview

  • Gwen Cenazandotti restarted daily broadcasts from the same location on Twitch via the OGK_Decoy channel starting in mid-September.
  • A visible donation meter finances rent and utilities, with more than €3,500 collected by October 1 according to recent streams.
  • The revived feed draws thousands of viewers, and many on-screen donation messages are vulgar or sexualized according to reporting.
  • Cenazandotti says gendarmes visit roughly every two days and that the prosecutor is pressing for a shutdown, a claim he made on stream.
  • The original Kick channel was banned after the August death, and separate probes continue into violence against a vulnerable person and platform responsibilities.
