A Tennessee judge has set a $1 million bond for a white livestreamer charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting and wounding a Black man. The case against Dalton Eatherly, who livestreams as “Chud the Builder,” has stoked debate over the extents of free speech and the rights of content creators who profit from hate-filled interactions. As more users of livestreaming social media platforms find being performative with racist language can draw big bucks, the line is blurring between freedom of expression and people's right to feel safe. Racial justice advocates worry that allowing people to profit from provoking strangers in livestreams will only heighten and normalize racist antics.
