Can someone point out the part where this wasn't voluntary or the guy was held captive & not free to leave or end the voluntary abuse at any time?

It looks like idiots kink-playing too hard with extra fines to some platform while the morons try to escape accountability.

Viral compilation threads have shown Pormanove being hit, strangled, and fired at with paintball guns while streaming with Naruto and Safine, whose lawyers claim they hold “no responsibility.”

The company is still at fault for not banning such behavior on their service. Freedom of expression does not mean freedom to be violent and promote violence.
