Twitch Reverses Course on AI Data Use, Apple Seeks App Store Cut

Twitch has introduced an opt-out option for creators regarding the use of their content for Amazon's AI training, a move that comes after initially enrolling all streamers by default. This change addresses creator concerns about their data being utilized without explicit consent.

In parallel, Apple is proposing to a federal judge that it be allowed to take a 15% commission on purchases made outside of its App Store, specifically for transactions initiated through external links within iOS applications. This proposal highlights ongoing tensions between platform monetization strategies and user/developer autonomy.
