“This three-year-old platform is clearly very disconnected with what is really going on,” she said, adding that if inquiries showed Kick fell short of online content standards, there would be “sanctions”, which she did not specify.
That seems like quite an understatement to me. I’d say they’re actively avoiding acknowledging this content.
As far as I know (might be wrong) Kick was made for streamers who have been kicked off other platforms. It’s another one of these sites with “relaxed moderation” which cater specifically to assholes who aren’t welcome elsewhere.
