Due to persistent abuse, LiveLeak is on the [[WP:SPB|Wikipedia spam blacklist]], and links must be [[WT:WHITELIST|whitelisted]] before they can be used. LiveLeak was an [[online video platform]] that hosted [[WP:UGC|user-generated content]]. Many of the videos on LiveLeak are [[WP:CV|copyright violations]], and should not be linked to per [[WP:COPYLINK]]. The use of LiveLeak as a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]] is questionable in most cases, as the provenance of most of the videos is unclear. LiveLeak shut down in May 2021; website content is no longer accessible unless archived.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/7/22424356/liveleak-shock-site-shuts-down-itemfix|title=LiveLeak, the internet's font of gore and violence, has shut down|first=James|last=Vincent|website=The Verge|date=May 7, 2021|access-date=May 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515070233/https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/7/22424356/liveleak-shock-site-shuts-down-itemfix|archive-date=May 15, 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
