💨 Abstract
Helen Wilson, a Glastonbury festival-goer, gained viral fame by live-streaming Irish rap trio Kneecap's performance on TikTok, which the BBC did not broadcast live. Helen, a Kneecap fan and supporter of free speech, wanted to ensure the performance reached a wider audience despite the BBC's decision. The BBC later uploaded an edited version of the set on iPlayer. Helen's action was praised as a stand for freedom and support for the artists.
