Netflix has been accused of funneling as much as $430M of its international profits into tax havens, while at the same time receiving more than a $1M in tax relief in the UK. A report by British think-tank Tax Watch said that, like other major tech companies including Google and Amazon, “there is little doubt ...
Private equity firm KKR just raised $2.2 billion to invest in fast-growing tech companies and it will now hunt for deals in regions far beyond Silicon Valley.
Dave Welsh, a KKR exec leading its technology media and telecom growth equity unit, said that it would seek investments in areas such as Florida, the greater Washington, D.C., area and Atlanta, as well as the Rocky Mountain region in Colorado and other regions throughout the Midwest.
The willingness to go far and wide points to how competition for the best investments across the private equity spectrum is getting stiffer, and more PE firms are getting creative with how they deploy their capital — seeking smaller, including minority, investments.

In just over two years, Scott Stuber, Netflix's vice president of film, has overseen the biggest steps the streaming company has taken to become a major player in the movie business.
From the success of "Roma" last year at the Oscars to its nominees this year — including "The Irishman," "The Two Popes," and "Marriage Story" — the company could have a big Academy Awards.
That's thanks to Stuber's deep ties in the industry, which have helped bring in big stars and curb the anxieties of movie-theater owners.
Business Insider spoke with Netflix insiders, analysts, and producers to profile one of the streamer's most important executives.

With Tesla shares on something of a historic run, the company earlier today became the most valuable car company the US has ever seen. This is something of a remarkable achievement given all of the turmoil Tesla has found itself in over the past few years. From a seemingly endless number of production problems to a handful of controversies involving Elon Musk, Tesla has impressively moved past all that in a relatively short period of time.
Two and a half months ago, Tesla shares were trading at $254. Today, Tesla shares hit the $470 threshold for the first time in history. All told, Tesla shares have jumped by upwards of 85% in just a few weeks. As it stands now, Tesla's market cap hovers around $84.3 billion, giving the EV maker a valuation that is higher than even Ford was at the height of its popularity.
All the more impressive, Tesla's valuation today is now just $2 billion shy of Ford and GM's market cap combined...

Disney+ has been available for only a month and the streaming service is already is a huge success for Disney. Not only do you get access to plenty of new and old Disney shows, but the Disney+ subscription is actually cheaper than any of Disney's rivals. For $6.99, you get support for four simultaneous Disney+ streams that go up to 4K UHD quality, depending on the show. Netflix’s cheapest plan ($8.99) only supports streaming SD shows to a single device at a time. If you pay for a full year of Disney+ access, the monthly cost goes down to $5.83. It’s no wonder that more than 10 million people subscribed to Disney+ at launch, with many of them having taken advantage of even cheaper pre-release deals. And that number may hit 20 million by the end of the year, according to recent estimates.
All that is apparently enough to scare Netflix into finding better ways to compete against its biggest rival to date. And that includes testing new membership plans that would reduce the...

YouTube, which has already sent many channel creators scrambling in the wake of the so-called "Adpocalypse," just gave creators yet another reason to worry that the income they get from the platform could be disrupted or even eliminated at any moment.
The "Adpocalypse" is the term laced with a bit of black humor that many of those creators already use to refer to YouTube's demonetization of their channels, which for those this has happened to prevents the inclusion of paid ads in their videos. YouTube has been accused of pursuing this trend inside of a black box, sometimes with little to no visibility into why this happens and who it happens to. Meanwhile, a Terms of Service update along these lines has given creators yet another reason to worry.
The new ToS goes into effect on December 10, and the clause that people are worried about is the following. It states that: "YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if Yo...

One of the world’s most recognizable companies, Facebook has spent almost a year devising a new corporate identity.
Facebook used to be a website. Then it became an app. But even as the company rapidly expanded, it made sense to keep calling it “Facebook.” Then Facebook started buying other companies and apps, like WhatsApp and Instagram. It acquired its own virtual reality division with Oculus. It announced its own cryptocurrency with all sorts of partners in the banking industry. All of a sudden, Facebook stood for a lot more than an app. Yet, awkwardly, it was still the name of an app...

Holy. Moly. That's pretty much all anyone could say when the Disney+ account on Twitter was finished tweeting out a complete list of every single movie and TV show that will be available on the hotly anticipated new streaming service at launch. That's right... Disney's dedicated Disney+ Twitter account tweeted out every single piece of content one at a time, and the final tally is jaw-dropping.
Are you wondering what the full tally is? Well, here comes the spoiler: 629! That's right, boys and girls. Apple is about to launch its new TV+ service for $10 a month with almost no content at all aside from a show about a morning news team and friggin Dickinson.

Actually, it's only $4.72 if you hurry and take advantage of the insane Founders Circle deal that's running right now...
