Amazon will train on Twitch streamers’ content by default, unless they opt out

What's happening

Twitch has begun using streamers' channels to train Amazon's generative AI models by default, with creators required to opt out if they do not want their content used. Twitch CPO Mike Minton said on a livestream that "If this was opt-in, nobody would opt in," explaining the default choice. Multiple outlets report the setting is available but not prominently displayed, and guides have appeared explaining how to turn the feature off.

Why it's trending

This is rising because Amazon/Twitch rolled the change out as a default and executives publicly defended that decision, sparking creator backlash and quick how-to guides on opting out.
