The crypto-powered streaming platform DLive has come under fire after far-right extremists used the service to live stream this week’s violent insurrection in the US Capitol.
DLive, the decentralized streaming platform that Justin Sun purchased and migrated to Tron in December 2019, was used by several far-right extremists to live-stream their insurrection in the US Capitol building on Jan 6.
The extremists were also able to raise donations during the broadcast and the platform has been accused of allowing extremists to raise “hundreds of thousands” of dollars, mostly in cryptocurrency, since it was founded.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog, at least five DLive accounts live streamed Wednesday’s shocking protest, “Murder the Media,” “ Loulz,” “Woozuh,” “Gloomtube” and “ Baked Alaska”.
