User:Maddie2025/Livestreamed crime
The livestreaming of crimes is a phenomenon in which people livestream criminal acts. Due to the fact publishing to social media is done with the intent of others viewing the published materials, it is often impossible to protect the privacy of the victims or people involved. Live-streaming crime allows anyone from the public to become a distant witness [1].
History
[edit]In recent years, there has seemingly been more discourse breaking out in the world between countries and territories. One of the most recent examples of war crimes being broadcast for everyone to see was Hamas which is the Islamic resistance movement that stands for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya[2]. The group had captured civilians from Israel and said that the more destruction in Gaza, the more civilians would be killed on camera[3].

[edit]Main Article: War Crime
A war crime is the act of breaking the laws of war, and in recent years, there have been more instances of people or groups live-streaming those specific acts for the whole world to see, most of the time to instill more fear into the public. Some groups create websites or use the dark web to host these live streams. Many times, the videos are of hostages or prisoners of war that are used as leverage for the person or group to get their demands or show they have power.
