> Two French streamers were given suspended prison sentences on Wednesday in a case involving the death of a man. A lawyer for one defendant said the pair had subjected him to violence and humiliation for several days during his own livestream. The conduct apparently took place with the man’s consent. The ruling follows the fatal outcome of the streamed abuse.
