Progressive Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a defamation lawsuit against conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday, accusing him of falsely claiming Piker advocated for lynching Blac…
Do you have eyes? I want you to really focus and read each word here:
Saltman has repeatedly portrayed pro-Palestine advocacy as support for terrorism, directly accusing streamer Hasan Piker of promoting “terrorist propaganda” and “Hamas recruitment videos.” In September 2025, he endorsed calls to ban Piker from Twitch, claiming Piker’s content encourages violence and supports terrorist organizations, while framing criticism of Israel as antisemitism. This rhetoric dehumanizes Palestinians by equating their resistance to Israel’s occupation with inherent threats, perpetuating consent for settler violence.
His associations extend to content creators like Ethan and Hila Klein of the H3 Podcast and Destiny’s community, with whom he has collaborated on attacks against Piker, viewing him as a threat due to his effective advocacy for Palestinian liberation. Saltman’s push to repeal Section 230 appears motivated by a desire to further censor online criticism of Israel. Twitch banned him indefinitely in November 2024 for “extreme harassment,” including doxxing and targeting employees who refused to comply with his demands.
Yes, I see that Hasan Piker is mentioned, and I see that there’s a history between Sam Altman.
But that has no relevance to anything I’ve written, unless you think that all criticism of Hasan Piker must originate from Dan Saltman, and in this case by proxy of me.
Yeah, my bad. I got the spelling of the names confused and then the wrong name stuck.
I’m aware that you’re talking about Dan Saltman, and that was also who I was thinking of at the time.
Eh, it’s a bit of a mix of mild dyslexia and previously alliteration for memory.
I’ve got some level of ADHD/ADD so I’ve had to build up some interesting ways to remember things, but sometimes it misfires.
I’ve corrected it where I saw it, but given that Saltman was irrelevant to the original points I made, I don’t really think misspelling his name has any bearing.
But it’s interesting if you consider misspelling an unrelated name enough reason to dismiss substantive points. That would indicate that you’re looking for a reason to dismiss without engaging with the substance.
It’s not misspelling, you mixed two very different people up multiple times even though I told you each time we weren’t talking about Sam Altman.
Considering your refusal to look into any of this yourself (playing dumb about the connection between Dan, Destiny, and Hasan makes this incredibly clear), I’m only here to banter. I don’t and won’t take you seriously anymore.
I mean, I already told you about my mild dyslexia, so I’m not sure why you’re fishing for a deeper meaning there.
I literally misplaced 2 letters of two very similar sounding and spelled names - that’s it.
I also read the write up you linked on him, so it’s not like I confused his person with Sam Altman.
It really feels like you’re just trying to discredit and dismiss me wholesale based on anything. Well, anything except any evidence or fully-formed argument.
I don’t really care about whatever rumours were spread, I saw Hasan’s own videos, I heard him change his story and I saw the modified collar he showed, and I linked an evidence-based little investigation based on Hasan’s own videos in another comment.
There’re no logical leaps or excuses involved or needed, and whatever rumours Saltman spread has nothing to do with the evidence I saw from Hasan’s own stream.
This is the exact game that DGG orbiters play and I wasn’t born yesterday. I told you I’m not going to take you seriously anymore, it’s pointless when you’re playing dumb. Trying to claim you have no idea what Hasan’s politics are while you are talking about Hasan in a political community is asinine. Claiming that you couldn’t find any link between Destiny and Hasan is similarly asinine. Having 0 sources for any of the bullshit you’re claiming is asinine. Claiming that it’s just too hard to source your claims is also asinine.

Is that the connection you’re trying to draw?
Edit: Dan Saltman / Sam Altman
No one is talking about Sam Altman.
Yeah, my bad. I got the spelling of the names confused and then the wrong name stuck. I’m aware that you’re talking about Dan Saltman, and that was also who I was thinking of at the time.
You called him Sam Altman like 4 or 5 times lol
I can’t take you seriously at all.

Is that true, and if so, why?
Saltman literally started the shock collar rumor.

You gave the game away.
