LiveLeak was a British video-sharing website that hosted user-generated content, with a strong emphasis on reality footage such as war, political events, and accidents. It was known for its graphic and often disturbing content, which often bypassed mainstream media censorship.
Founded in 2006, LiveLeak aimed to showcase the "real world" and offer an alternative to sanitized news coverage. It gained notoriety for hosting controversial material, including videos of beheadings, executions, and graphic violence. The site's content moderation policies were often criticized, with accusations of allowing excessive and harmful material.
LiveLeak was shut down in May 2021. The founder, Hayden Hewitt, cited the increasing difficulty of moderating content and the emotional toll of running the site as reasons for its closure. He announced that the website's archive would be transferred to the ItemFix platform. The closure ended a controversial chapter in internet history, raising questions about freedom of speech, censorship, and the ethics of online content sharing.
