The Aussie platform behind a livestreamed death

Last week, the death of a French man was live-streamed on a platform co-founded by Australia’s youngest billionaire, called Kick. Over two years, thousands of viewers watched the man, who died in his sleep, being physically assaulted in real time by several other people. 

In today’s episode, we’ll explain what you should know about the man who died, the streaming platform that saw the last two years of his life unfold, and the Australian billionaire who founded it.

Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Emma Gillespie
Producer: Orla Maher
