Streaming services adjust after suicide

Social media networks have been urged to better monitor and guide users to ensure platforms have a positive influence after one of China's top livestreaming apps deleted 12 accounts over shocking footage of a woman's suicide.

The 19-year-old woman, surnamed Li, jumped to her death on June 20 from the eighth floor of a department store in Qingyang, Gansu province.

Several people in the crowd below filmed Li sitting on a ledge for hours while rescue workers tried to talk her down, with some livestreaming the incident on popular app Kuaishou under titles such as "Jump as soon as possible and don't disturb the traffic" and "You just don't want to jump".
