Amazon MGM has entered into a deal that will allow it creative control over the James Bond movie franchise. Will this be a blessing or a curse for 007? YouTube is planning a new, lower-priced version of its paid video service called “premium lite”. An Australian online safety report from eSafety found that children can easily bypass social media age restrictions, something necessary as the government moves forward with a ban on social media for under-16s. And Amazon announced that it surpassed Walmart in Q4 revenue, bringing in $187.8 billion, ahead of Walmart’s $180.5 billion.

Starring Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Roger Chang, Joe.
