The autority should be held accountable too since they opened an investigation but did not force the streamers to temporarly stop streaming till the investigation is finished

I don't think that's a real issue. depending on how long this investigation goes, that would either be meaningless loss of revenue for these content creators, or an easy way to destroy the career of any other content creators too if a disgruntled viewer reports them falsely.

The investigation started in December 2024, the abusers was taken into custody then released unconditionally so i don't see how the authorities are not responsible too

ok, that's a different reason now, I can agree with that. maybe it shouldn't be legally possible to consent to abuse like that. but a law forbidding that could have far reaching consequences, like if a medical treatment is very painful but it cannot be avoided because painkillers have alimited effect
