Overview

• Owen Cenazandotti, known as Naruto, announced the end of the Lokal hours after Jean Pormanove’s funeral, following Kick’s ban of the channel tied to the abusive livestreams.
• An autopsy found no third‑party cause in Raphaël Graven’s death, and toxicology analyses ordered by Nice prosecutors are still pending as the circumstances of the livestream marathon are examined.
• Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into Kick’s role, and Digital Affairs minister Clara Chappaz says the government will sue the platform for legal failings under France’s online trust law.
• Kick says it will fully cooperate with French authorities and has since named an EU representative in Malta, while officials criticize its limited moderation resources and lack of French‑language moderators.
• A parliamentary mission has widened its scope to the monetization of violent content and regulators, including Arcom, are coordinating across the EU to scrutinize live‑stream moderation and reporting systems.
