Memecoin platform pump.fun carries a feature Livestream back to 5% of users


Alon Cohen, Solana’s co-founder based on the Memecoin Launchpad Pump.fun, is set to return live streaming on the platform-five months after the feature was suspended after several incidents involving harmful content.

Post On X on April 4, Cohen said the feature returned with “standard industry moderation systems in place and guidance guidance.” He said it was combined with only 5% of users.

Pump.fun website describes The purpose of the new policy of moderating live-streaming as “to cultivate a social environment in the pump satisfaction that maintains creativity and freedom of expression and encourages significant interactions among users, illegal, harmful, and negative interactions.”

Moderation policy violations may see the creators finishing their livestreams and pump.fun accounts.

The policy prohibits certain types of content, including violence, animal abuse, pornography and youth risk. However, it also creates ambiguity by claiming that “Pump Fun does not intend to generally define what content is ‘appropriate’ or ‘inappropriate.'”

“There is an implicit that assumes that some content – perhaps a lot of content – generally defined as the NSFW will in fact appear in the pump’s satisfaction,” the states of pump.fun’s modernization policy.

The platform added that it is entitled to “unilaterally determine the suitability of the content where necessary and to moderately accordingly.”

Live-Streaming Return arrives while the Memecoin Market has collapsed

Pump.Fun deleted its live-streaming Featured last November after it became awash with intense content as memecoin creators turned to more surprising tactics to promote their tokens.

Some users are said to be threatening violence or self -harm if a token does not reach a price goal.

The platform Says Its unfamiliar growth has put a strain on its moderators, and it can pause live-streaming functionality forever to ensure the safety of its users “until the moderation infrastructure is ready to deal with higher levels of activity.”

At this time, Mikko Ohtamaa, co-founder of the Algorithmic Trading Firm Strategy, Says That if the pump.fun continues to allow live-streaming without appropriate moderation, it will quickly close once a major audience finds what is happening.

“I am advocating for freedom of speech, but these flows are causing practical issues in which people are destroying the law on live broadcasts. It will motivate a shutdown when the main media gets air into it,” Ohtamaa said.
