ABSTRACT

With societal progress and economic growth, science and technology have entered an unprecedented era of prosperity. As people's lifestyles and entertainment options become increasingly diversified, live streaming has emerged as a popular social entertainment medium, gradually establishing its presence and influencing various aspects of daily life. Recently, outdoor live streaming has become particularly prominent. While providing entertainment and contributing to economic development, this format inevitably raises certain regulatory challenges. During such broadcasts, hosts frequently engage with passersby - whether through direct conversations, follow-along filming, or even covert recording. Notably, some pedestrians become unwilling video subjects when captured on stream without their knowledge or consent, their images being used as content material. Based on this, the state has continuously strengthened relevant supporting measures, including legislative, judicial and regulatory levels.

This article will analyze the regulatory responsibility of the platform for such live broadcasts, and put forward feasible suggestions for resolving this contradiction at the legislative, judicial and regulatory levels in China in the future through relevant legal systems and hot cases.
