A Beijing court has upheld the verdict against a major livestreaming app, ordering it to shoulder partial responsibility for the death of a “rooftopper” who fell from a skyscraper while posting from the summit of a 62-storey building in central China.
Wu Yongning, known as China’s No 1 rooftopper, had more than one million followers on several live-streaming apps and had uploaded almost 300 videos of his daredevil stunts in which he scaled tall buildings without any safety equipment.
