In those cases broadcasters take one of two roads:

1. Don’t broadcast it - many extreme sports are simply not broadcast by many, many broadcasters.

2. Properly mitigate the risk to an acceptable level - this is done frequently for sports and other media. This is the reason you can watch Jackass and Dirty Sanchez even though the risk of death for many stunts is non-zero.

Once the death occurs though, they can only rely on their demonstration of #2 here to offset legal culpability. They are also then generally bound to remove the material and not re-air (in this case, Kick did make the content available again for whatever reason)

It seems like this is the road the defense will take in this particular case is to prove the death (illegal to air if preventable) was not caused by the preceding consensual torture (legal to air, seemingly).

Yes, that is the law. You are required not to broadcast death and to create circumstances in which the likelihood of this is minimised.

That’s not calling for censorship because it doesn’t preclude a level of consensual harm that doesn’t lead to high risk of death.

As I said earlier, your point stands: it is not for these platforms to act as moral compasses for viewers of consensual but provocative content.

However, that’s irrelevant to the law which wants to avoid incentivising people dying / being killed on broadcast streams for a profit.

I think this is ratified by the fact that there will be less of a burden of blame on the service provider if this proves not to be the case

They aren’t deciding, they’re being held to laws that they didn’t create nor necessarily agree with.

I’d assume that, given the option, they’d like this kind of thing to be legal so they can continue making money from it legitimately

This is why we can’t have nice things

Because they profited from his torture and subsequent death?

To your point though, they aren’t responsible in the moral sense that you’re implying. However, they committed a crime when they platformed, promoted and profited from it.

It sure does

Hey everyone, this guy didn’t get the joke!

Depriving us of an excerpt would be quite rude at this point

Louis makes a lot of the points you’re making in the video. He points to Clippy as an example of universal repulsion where we “didn’t know how lucky we had it”, versus the wolf dressed up in social media’s clothing we have today.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but it’s still worth watching the video. His overall aim is an honourable one and the choice of Clippy is pretty smart in light of the aims.

That’s because you’re not a konky botch like Claude

Urgh, I don’t really have time to do this migration but guess I’m planning it in anyway.

Past me was a lazy bum. But I’m confident that future me is all over this. Time for a nap.

I’ve added it to the starred map! Thanks!

We went to Stuttgart, Baden Baden, and then took a long car trip to Munich. We stopped at some little towns here and there too but I don’t remember all the names. And we crossed into Luxembourg briefly if I recall correctly.

I’d recommend all of them but the Baden natural spa is something to behold and the town itself it impossibly beautiful in places.

Next time will likely be the north end of the country. I’d love to go to Hanover as my mother lived there as a child while her father was on assignment post-war.

It was a bad joke about most of the stalls being run by (lovely and very generous) immigrants and the rest of the markets being tourists!

In reality everyone we met was lovely. The food was to die for. And it snowed. 10/10 trip honestly and looking forward to going back soon!

I went over to the Christmas markets for a week, a few years back. As a result, I did not meet any Germans and am unable to answer the question.

Thank you for finding my new favourite comic for me. I really didn’t have the energy.

The country is riddled with leaky mains pipes because water companies are more concerned with allocating huge bonuses to themselves than they are with fixing infrastructure.

Now we’re courting tech companies to build more data centres that our other shitty infrastructure (electric) isn’t even fit to support because magic money tree go brrrrrrr

This is mandated recycling 2.0. Fill supermarkets with products 99% of which come in plastic wrappers, only successfully recover a fraction of that, and then tell the consumer they’re the ones destroying the environment.

If they can fit my 5 recycling boxes up their rear, then they can shove this up their arse too.

Yeah this is 100% correct. Today it’s a damp and humid rock.

Wish I was on some far off thin strip of land, if I’m honest.
