A structured broadcast forensic tool evaluating imminent physical threat onset, streamer self-defense proportionality, platform moderation ban risks, and venue liability breakdowns for live broadcasts.
Standardized thresholds applied by major live-streaming platforms (Kick, Twitch, YouTube Live) during physical altercations.
| Incident Level | Trigger Type | Expected Broadcaster Protocol | Platform Penalty Risk | Legal Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1: Disruption | Verbal heckling / trespass | Mute stream, request security removal | Negligible (Warning) | Civil trespass notification |
| Level 2: Hostile Posturing | Aggressive advance, no weapon | Back away, pan camera off subject, alert staff | Low (Temporary restriction) | Potential breach of peace |
| Level 3: Physical Contact | Shoving, grappling without weapons | Cut broadcast immediately, disengage | High (7-30 Day Suspension) | Assault / Battery dispute |
| Level 4: Lethal Threat | Stated death threat / weapon brandish | Immediate self-defense, kill stream, 911 dispatch | Severe (Indefinite review flag) | Justified self-defense affirmative defense |
