TikTok and Kick said livestreaming Nidal Hasan's execution would violate their policies, Axios reported, citing The Verge. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to broadcast the execution, scheduled for Dec. 3.

YouTube, Meta, X and Twitch did not respond to The Verge's requests for comment. Vice President JD Vance questioned Friday whether the execution would actually be livestreamed.
