Youtube imposed new restrictions on users: "To be able to live stream on mobile, your channel will need to have at least 1,000 subscribers."
Why Youtube did that? What is the reason to limit creators that are using mobile devices?

We’re regularly reevaluating our eligibility requirements and decided to raise the threshold for live streaming on mobile. Creators who have less than 1,000 subscribers will still be able to live stream through desktop and webcam.

Presumably due to the threatened legal action and legislative changes aimed at social media platforms that stream violent content (ie like the recent shooting in Christchurch). All social media platforms have to act to limit the chances of this happening to try and avoid the consequences.
