    Sam Pepper Banned on Kick for Fireworks Incident Near Child

    DIGITAL PHABLET – Controversial streamer and content creator Sam Pepper was banned on Kick after live footage showed him nearly blinding an Indian child by shooting fireworks at them in New Delhi, India.

    Pepper, who is visiting India for the second time, was participating in a Diwali celebration where multiple people were seen shooting fireworks at each other, sparking widespread safety concerns on social media.

    During the event, the streamer aimed a firework stick at the crowd, and the shot struck a child. Sam Pepper exclaimed, “Oh my God, oh my God, Headshot! Bro, that’s crazy!” A man from India then approached Pepper and informed him that the fireworks had hit a child and that they had lost one of their eyes as a result.

    Pepper responded to the man, claiming that another group was shooting fireworks at them as well, and he believed they were just playing around.

    A user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “Can we just ban streamers like this, all of them? The blatant disregard for others’ safety and not taking responsibility is messed up.”

    Another person added, “Sounds like the kid should sue him for every cent he’s got.”

    When visiting his Kick account, users encountered a message stating “Oops, something went wrong,” indicating that he was likely suspended or banned from the platform.

    In response to the controversy, Pepper posted on X denying that the child lost their sight. He stated, “I was in India tonight with a large group, firing small firecrackers back and forth at each other. It now seems stupid to say this. But one of the other group members got hit by a firecracker I shot, and they got a cut above their eyebrow.”

    He continued, “I feel terrible. We sent someone with them to get checked out, and all costs were covered. They received a paper stitch and are now back home.”

    Known for his provocative prank videos and unpredictable online antics, Sam Pepper faced allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women in 2014. He denied all claims, and authorities ultimately did not pursue the case further, citing a lack of cooperation from the victims, according to the BBC.

    French Streamer Jean Pormanove Dies During Live Broadcast

    Digital Phablet – French streamer Jean Pormanove passes away during a live broadcast, prompting an investigation.

    Police reports state that Raphaël Graven, also known as Jean Pormanove, was found deceased at his residence in Contes, a town located north of Nice.

    Throughout his streams, the 46-year-old exhibited episodes of violence and was reported to have insufficient sleep. According to local media, he peacefully died in his sleep while live on air.

    Clara Chappaz, a French government minister, confirmed that a criminal investigation is currently ongoing. She described Mr. Gravenove’s death and the violent circumstances he endured as an “absolutely horrifying” experience, mentioning that he had been subjected to humiliation for months.

    Kick, a live-streaming platform similar to Twitch, allows users to broadcast content and engage with viewers in real time. A representative from Kick told the BBC that the company is “urgently investigating” the circumstances surrounding the streamer’s death.

    “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jean Pormanove and offer our condolences to his family, friends, and community,” they stated.

    The platform’s community guidelines aim to “protect creators,” and Kick’s spokesperson emphasized the company’s commitment to maintaining these standards across the platform.

    Chappaz, who oversees digital technologies and artificial intelligence, stated she has brought this matter to the attention of Arcom, France’s media regulator, as well as Pharos, a system used to report online content.

    France’s High Commissioner for Children, Sarah El Haïry, described the incident as “horrifying.”

    On social media, she stressed the importance of content moderation, stating, “There is an enormous responsibility on platforms to monitor online content so that our children are not exposed to violence. I urge parents to be vigilant,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

    The prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation into the death and has ordered an autopsy.

    Mr. Pormanove had amassed over one million followers on all his social media channels, including a dedicated community on Kick.

    He shared his thoughts and updates regularly, and many followers remembered him fondly. Owen Cenazandotti, also known as Naruto, referred to him as his “brother, sidekick, partner,” and requested that people respect his memory by refraining from sharing videos of his final moments online.

    He expressed his grief on Instagram, asking fans to honor Jean Pormanove’s memory and to respect his dignity during this difficult time.
