Meeting one’s idols is a frequent entry on bucket lists. Not everyone gets to turn this desire into reality unless they are lucky. One such lucky person is popular Call of Duty Warzone streamer, TimTheTatman. Tim might rule Twitch, but there are many celebrities much bigger than him. One of them is his idol, the MMA legend and UFC star, Conor McGregor.

Twitch streamer GeorgeNotFound’s alternate account has been banned by Twitch for having an “inappropriate username” which is far from the reality. George’s alternate account “ThisIsGeorgeNotFound” was found to be bearing an inappropriate username and from what it seems was an error made from the side of the Amazon-owned streaming platform. The ban is indefinite, hence the account will remain suspended unless a successful appeal is made to convince Twitch if they do not fix it by themselves. The ban email says “based on a review of your activity or content, we have issued a Community Guidelines strike on your account. Due to the severe nature of this violation, or the fact that you’ve incurred multiple violations, your access to Twitch services is indefinitely restricted.” Regardless, if the appeal is made correctly, Twitch will most likely uplift the ban and let George have his way with his account. One can assume that this has been a mistake from Twitch and it falls under their responsibility to look into this issue. Also Read | Is Neymar coming to Fortnite in Season 6?

The actress, known for her roles in HBO’s The Newsroom, Psylocke in the 2016 Marvel film X-Men: Apocalypse, and Dina in the Netflix rom-com Love Wedding Repeat, is boldly using her Instagram to raise awareness and demand more mainstream media coverage for the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes in America. In an Instagram post, Olivia Munn says she found herself “at a loss for words.” She goes on to say “To simply exist as a minority in this country is seen as a protest to some. We need help amplifying the outrage. We need help to feel safe in our country. We need help to be safe in our country.” Read the full post here: The actress, who includes “Proud Asian American” on her Instagram profile, was born in Oklahoma to an American father and a mother of Chinese descent.

Aamir Khan's blockbuster 'Dangal' released in 2016 but even though nearly five years have passed, the actor continues to remain in touch with almost everyone from the film's cast and crew through a WhatsApp group which they made after they had wrapped up the film. The WhatsApp group in question has been feverishly ticking, we assume, because today is Aamir's birthday, and we bet nobody in the group would want to miss out on wishing him. A source says, "This group is even otherwise very active. Even Aamir talks on that. 'Dangal' was a massive experience for each one of those who were associated with it. It shall remain one of the fondest memories of my life." When contacted, the film's director Nitesh Tiwari said, "We put a lot of things on that group--what's happening in our lives, our work, and even the memes that come up related to 'Dangal'. We have frequently stayed in touch; we were a very close-knit family." Talking more about 'Dangal', Nitesh further said that it was Aamir's idea of bulking up first and then shooting for the portions wherein he's supposed to look leaner. "He said that he does few films and if he…

Blue check marks on WhatsApp messages show whether a message has been read.© Image Alliance / dpa-tmnIs there a change in the blue tick planned for WhatsApp? Apparently, reading receipts for some news items are temporarily unknown.Munich – For many WhatsApp users, they have become essential: a blue tick that indicates whether a message has already been read by a chat partner. This function also applies to voice messages. But not everyone likes blue hooks. Some feel controlled by themselves or at least pressured to respond directly to others. This is why some WhatsApp users turn off “Read Confirmations”, which means you can not see whether a chat partner or a message has been read. However, this still does not apply to voice messages. Blue ticks will always glow in them – “read confirmations” regardless of any setting.Report on secret WhatsApp change: Is the blue tick in voice messages gone soon?That should have changed by now – at least in the short term. Like the technology portal Technical book The ambassador is said to have created the option to deactivate the function for voice messages in early March 11th. If reading confirmations are disabled for at least one calling partner,…

Kathryn Carter is about to find herself on the other side of the social media equation.Having so far spent her time steering the ship for Snapchat in Australia, New Zealand and south-east Asia, the 38-year-old is about to become a parent. And that brings with it a very specific perspective on social media.Social media apps, even the seemingly innocuous ones like Snapchat - which lets users exchange pictures and videos - have become magnets for controversy. Concerns about addiction, the spread of misinformation and the purported damage done to young minds have become almost as viral as the use of the apps themselves.Kathryn Carter, CEO of Snapchat’s Australian, New Zealand and south-east Asian operations.Credit:Louise KennerleyCarter doesn’t discount the tension but she’s sanguine the positives of a platform such as Snapchat outweigh the perceived negatives. “I’m sure I’m naive in going in thinking that I will be able to know all of the answers now, not knowing what motherhood will entail,” she says. “But I’d like to think that in 13 years’ time when my son is able to use technology that I will enable that because it also unlocks so many extraordinary opportunities.”Social media, believe it or not, is still…

Facebook is one step closer to striking deals with some of Australia’s largest media companies after conceding it could change or remove previously non-negotiable “poison pill” clauses in contracts that would allow the tech giant to walk away from any deals.The $764 billion ($984 billion) tech giant has been trying to strike commercial deals with large media outlets such as News Corp Australia, The Guardian’s local operations, the ABC and Nine Entertainment Co for use of news articles on its platform for several weeks to avoid being punished under new media bargaining laws. It has failed to do so because of the inclusion of clauses that allow it to blow up the agreements at any point in time.Talks between some media companies and Facebook are finally progressing.Credit: Industry sources who spoke anonymously because talks are confidential said Facebook has now told media companies it may be able to remove or change these provisions, a sign that it may strike deals in a matter of weeks if there is enough money on the table.  » Read More
