Livestreamed crime

Livestreamed crime is a phenomenon in which criminal acts are publicly livestreamed on social media platforms such as Twitch or Facebook Live.

Due to the fact that livestreams are accessible instantaneously, it is difficult to quickly detect and moderate violent content, and almost impossible to protect the privacy of victims or bystanders. Livestreaming crime allows anyone from the public to become a distant witness.

"Trash streaming" is a YouTube subculture in which livestreamers solicit donations in exchange for carrying out dares on-stream, which are often abusive or criminal.
