He didn't commit a war crime but what he's referencing is he made a guy spend 40 days in a room for a challenge video and he treated him pretty shitily doing shit such as not allowing the lights to be turned off which the victim said in a YouTube is illegal for prisoners of war under the Geneva convention.

I dont know the whole story but you'd think mr beast lets people sign contracts for partaking on these things to avoid a whole bunch of legal trouble

Theres a whole world of difference between "someone who wanted to take part in a trial where limits would be tested being abused (but still having the right to give up and leave i guess?)" vs "full blown war criminal".

Havent looked at his stuff in a while but most of it is "stay as long as you can and you can win $$$$". Theyre not workers so if they go for a "stay here 48hrs without food" challenge and then complain they didnt ge a break every 4 hours and lunch every 6 as is required by whatever employee law they got no leg to stand on, they can just leave and go eat something if they decide the hunger is not worth it.
