This is basically a black mirror plot right?

“In live-streamed broadcasts, viewers would egg on the streamers as they conducted acts of violence and physical and moral humiliation on Mr. Graven, according to Le Parisien, a French newspaper. As many as 15,000 people would watch, the newspaper reported. Mr. Graven had more than 500,000 followers on Kick, an Australian streaming platform that launched in 2022.”
