Ramsey Khalid Ismael — better known as Johnny Somali, the infamous American streamer arrested in Japan, Israel, and South Korea for his provocative behavior — has been imprisoned in South Korea.
They should also seize all his revenue from streaming, as proceeds of crime. And fine all the streaming platforms for aiding a criminal based on how many viewers they gave him/how much they paid him for being a criminal nuisance. They profited by his criminal activity drawing views to their platforms, and they generated ad revenue off of those criminal activities.
We should then imprison everyone who watched his videos for contributing to his crimes, and everyone who talks about him for providing advertisement to him helping him do his crimes. And at least fine the people whom he offended for allowing for there to be a crime to begin with.
Just throw everyone in jail!
Witnessing and talking about a crime isnt a crime. Providing infrastructure to commit a crime is a crime.
So the DPW is responsible for people who speed or drive drunk? Or is your understanding of the law laughably stupid and childish?
Idk what DPW is. Web platforms are responsible for users posting illegal content. That has always been the case. This is no different.
Oh yes, yes, let’s take things to completely absurd takes, once someone suggests that the guy shouldn’t be allowed to profit off his crime (which he did, clearly), and that the tech companies that have also been profiting off his crimes should also be accountable. It’s not like confiscating wealth as ‘proceeds of crime’ is an actual legal thing in most places or anything!
Defend those corporations! Tech overlords are always innocent!
Twit.
You already did
You just compared a fine for Twitch and YouTube to “throwing everyone in jail”. Touch grass.
Congratulations! Today you get to learn about hyperbole and exaggeration!
