YouTube, Meta, and Twitch won’t say if they’ll allow the US government to livestream an execution

The US government has asked YouTube, Twitch, Meta, and X to consider livestreaming an execution on their platforms, but the companies have not publicly stated their stance on the matter. The request was made after a Pentagon official announced the execution of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of a mass shooting at a Texas military base in 2009. The official's statement sparked concerns about the potential for the execution to be livestreamed on social media platforms.
