Fearing more violence, online platforms are cracking down on livestreams from Washington

After some rioters livestreamed the assault on the Capitol, some platforms are restricting livestreams in anticipation of potential disruptions at President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.

As they marched through hallways and ransacked lawmakers' offices, they offered a play-by-play of their actions on YouTube, Facebook and other platforms as a transfixed nation watched. Other rioters turned to lesser-known streaming outlets such as DLive. Now some livestream platforms are taking steps to crack down on such broadcasts after the assault on the Capitol and in anticipation of potential disruptions at President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.
