US government agencies are already banned from using Kaspersky Lab software but action to prevent private companies from using the software would be unprecedented. It’s the latest US government effort to use its vast regulatory powers to prevent Americans from using popular technology that US officials consider a national security risk. A Kaspersky Lab spokesperson did not respond to questions about a potential prohibition or about how big the company’s market share is in the US. Commerce Department officials have to carefully consider how practical any such regulation would be for the department to enforce and for users to comply with. But the expected move from the Biden administration would go a step further by using Commerce Department authorities to prevent private companies from using Kaspersky Lab software.

Big social platforms including YouTube, TikTok, and Pinterest are adding new commerce features at a fast clip.

Some companies, like Whatnot and Flip, are building separate apps for brands and creators to sell products through livestreams.

Minneapolis CNN —US inflation may have remained elevated in July, but consumers just wanted to have some fun. It’s the strongest monthly spending gain since January; however, underlying data indicates this type of activity may be on borrowed time. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index showed that prices increased 0.2% on a monthly basis and 3.3% annually. Economists were expecting monthly increases of 0.2% for the headline and core indexes and 3.3% and 4.2%, respectively, for the annual numbers. Even when adjusted for inflation, spending surged in July, rising by 0.6% from the month before.

Nvidia CFO Colette Kress downplayed the effect of the potential export restrictions at a financial conference on Wednesday, saying that they would not have an "immediate financial impact" but that further restrictions could hurt the company's growth in the future. "We are aware of reports that the U.S. Department of Commerce is considering further controls that may restrict exports of A800 and our H800 products to China," Kress said, referring to the company's chips. And the impact on our future business and financial results is there," Kress continued. Nvidia is the leader in the parts needed to build advanced AI systems, and AI engineers covet the company's A100 and new H100 chips. But according to the Journal, new Commerce Department limits could restrict the export of even those chips.

I'll be working with the team over the next few weeks to ensure a smooth and efficient transition. All of this is a tiny fraction of our truly incredible work, done by incredible humans. The best way to learn is to read the code, to pair program with Shopifolk inside and outside of your team. I didn't truly understand the impact Shopify has on merchants until I met some in person. I leave you in the capable hands of our leaders, and I know you'll continue to do incredible work.
Creators say YouTube's new commerce products generate insignificant revenue for them. YouTube said some creators have made it work and sold out products featured in live shopping events. Creators haven't yet expressed panic about the slow start to YouTube's commerce efforts. But it may be too early for the live shopping trend to have evolved among American consumers like it has in China, he adds. In the coming months though, creators hope YouTube tweaks the commerce products to make them more compelling to viewers.
Yahoo eyes retail stock trading in growth push - Axios

Nov 29 (Reuters) - Yahoo plans to add retail stock trading and enter new commerce and transaction businesses such as sports betting in a move to boost its revenue, news website Axios reported on Tuesday citing an unnamed company source. The owner of websites such as Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports and TechCrunch generates around $8 billion in revenue annually, the report said. Private equity firm Apollo Global Management, which owns Yahoo following a $5 billion buyout last year, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The report comes a day after Yahoo said it will buy nearly 25% of Taboola.com Ltd (TBLA.O) and become its largest shareholder, allowing the online advertising company to exhibit paid content on the web portal's many sites.
