There's more to the 2XKO Starter Bundle Ultra than just Arcane skins. Image credit: Riot Games | Last Updated On: Jan 23, 2026 6:37 am CET Twitch recently angered the FGC when it came to light that streamers were being harassed into taking a 2XKO sponsorship that wasn’t very lucrative at all. The backlash got so bad that Riot was caught in the crosshairs, causing its Global Head of Player Community to respond on X. On January 20th, streamers came forward with receipts showing Twitch constantly pushing a 2XKO sponsorship opportunity. While that wouldn’t be so bad on its own (although, dang, stop acting as desperate as an American politician in the inboxes), streamers shared the questionable details of the campaign soon after, cementing it as an insult to the FGC. Streamers would only get paid for having the 2XKO banner plastered all over their stream if someone donated five gifted subs to them. And once players did somehow manage to get the payment, they realized it was just Twitch gifting one sub back to them. Streamers also pointed out that the bonus gifted sub earnings are paid at the platform’s usual rates, meaning Twitch could take up to 50%

Sheen, this is the 7th week in a row you've shown Twitter/X alternatives in class. Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads – the internet has seen no shortage of so-called "Twitter/X killers" rolled out over the past few years. That list is about to grow again: a group of European politicians and entrepreneurs has unveiled "W," a new alternative to X explicitly marketed to users looking to leave Twitter for political reasons. Presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos to the tune of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, Pt.1 – The Wall played at WEF, talk about something that wasn't on anyone's bingo card – W is described by its CEO Anna Zeiter, an ex-lawyer and eBay's former Vice President of AI & Privacy, as a "better version of Twitter" that would be "governed and hosted in Europe." "Across Europe and beyond, systemic disinformation is eroding public trust and weakening democratic decision-making. Many see the problem. Far fewer are helping shape what comes next," she comments. "We believe there is an urgent need for a new social media platform built, governed, and hosted in Europe. With human verification, free speech, and data privacy at its core." One of the most

WhatsApp brings special accounts for kids with less features, more security Meta's renowned messaging service WhatsApp is reportedly working on special accounts for children, enabling parents to let their children use WhatsApp with restricted features. The impending separate WhatsApp accounts for kids are coming to enhance online safety. These child accounts will have default privacy settings that limit interactions with unknown contacts. According to WABetaInfo, the secondary account will also give parents insights into their child's activity, such as when a new contact contacts or is contacted. This is to maintain end-to-end encryption to ensure content remains private. WhatsApp's latest feature for children is designed to make parents stress less about their kids' online activities, allowing them to monitor them without compromising the security of their messages. How to set up a child account on WhatsApp To set up a child account on WhatsApp, parents will need to scan a QR code after the welcome screen to link their account.

(KNSI) — The St. Cloud Area School Board voted to censure member Natalie Copeland for comments she made in an expletive-laden social media rant about ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement action. Copeland expressed anger on Facebook over what she described as ICE operations affecting students. She wrote in her now-deleted post that her daughter was unable to focus on a forensics test because her brain was in “think, fight, flight, or freeze mode.” She added that students were “on high alert.” She went on to curse President Donald Trump and anyone who voted for him. Wednesday night’s vote was five to one to censure Copeland for violating board policy 209, specifically for conduct unbecoming of a board member. Gina Acevedo was the only member who voted against the censure, and Copland herself abstained. Board Chair Shannon Hawes read a resolution stating that the social media post had caused stress, undermined public confidence, and unnecessarily used staff time and resources. Before the meeting got underway, the district held a 30-minute community input session in which 11 people spoke,  » Read More
