Political commentator and Kick streamer Dan Saltman, aka Dancantstream, has said he would fund a legal counterclaim against Twitch streamer ExtraEmily after the latter supposedly initiated a DMCA strike against an X post by @Awk20000. The post in question was removed from the social media user's page on May 19, 2025, with @Awk20000 alleging that ExtraEmily was behind the DMCA claim, as it featured a short clip from her broadcast. In the clip, Emily's father appeared to insinuate that she had not paid them back the tuition fees for her college. For context, earlier this year, there was controversy in the streaming community over her student loans, with ExtraEmily claiming that she had paid her parents back. Readers should note that the VOD linked in the screenshot as the original source for the clip is now unavailable. After @Awk20000 claimed that Emily had copyright-claimed the post, Dan Saltman reposted it and encouraged the X user to counterclaim it. Saltman also stated that he would bear the cost of the legal charges and claimed that clipping broadcasts for criticism is protected under fair use laws. "Initiate a counterclaim. I will pay 100% of all legal costs. Clipping for criticism is fair

Amazon’s newly updated AI voice assistant Alexa+ officially started rolling out to select customers roughly six weeks ago—but real-world users are still proving mysteriously hard to find. In a report earlier this week, Reuters claimed it searched “dozens” of news sites, as well as social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, X, Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitch, but was unable to find any verifiable Alexa+ users. Reuters did find two users on Reddit who claimed they had used the updated tool, but these users weren’t able to provide any hard evidence they had really accessed the tool or verify their identities. Amazon has promised the newly revamped Alexa will provide a much more humanlike conversational flow, claiming this is the end of "Alexa voice" at April's product reveal. The tech giant has also promised numerous ambitious-sounding "agentic AI" features ahead of the voice assistant's launch.

Computer scientist. Modeling. Professional Complainer. Twitch-streaming ChelseaBytes does it all, and the world is always thirsty. Recently, Twitch’s official Twitter account acknowledged her and asked, “What CAN’T she do?” No one has ever really found an answer. Basically, the tweet worked up hype around her stream while rejoicing in Black Brilliance, quickly being showered with love from fans and fellow creatives. The responses went from “THE LIVING LEGEND!!!!!!!!” to “Chelsea is an ICON!! 👏👏,” while Chelsea herself responded with the most wholesome comment, “this is going on my fridge.” Vibes? Beautiful. Energy? Unmatched. Now, who is ChelseaBytes?
