Comment on In 2020 I couldn't swing a stick without finding independent livestreamer links for protests. In 2024, I am having a very hard time finding livestreamers. Help?

During that whole event, I was up watching every stream that was available until they cut and went home. I was following all of their twitters and monitoring twitter in general.

I can tell you that what I said is accurate with certainty. There were streamers that would end when the “night shift” took over protesting because it was “too dangerous to stream”, when a week prior they were welcome. The ones that lasted the longest were filming their face or the ground and eventually they gave up because they were getting confronted or worse.

Their presence was said to “endanger” protesters because the police were watching along with everybody else. The police would roll up out of nowhere and start grabbing up people around the streamers, because they used the streams to pinpoint locations.
