Cloudflare, a cybersecurity company last valued at $3.2 billion, plans to go public in September, according to sources familiar with the company. The company confidentially filed an S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier in the summer, one person said. IBM reportedly axed as many as 100,000 employees in the last few years because it wanted to appear "cool" and "trendy" like Amazon or Google. IBM has been hit by several age discrimination suits filed by former employees.

The company has approached Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon about putting their services onto the device, according to The Information.

The UK hosted the "Five Eyes" nations for a security summit this week, with UK home secretary Priti Patel and US Attorney General William Barr signalling that they had encryption in their sights. Lyft is halting its e-bike program in San Francisco after two bikes mysteriously erupted in flames. No injuries were reported, and Lyft is investigating the batteries and bikes for the cause of the fire. Some of the world's most influential celebrities and business moguls are reportedly flocking to a Sicilian seaside resort this week for Google's annual "meeting of the minds," known amongst attendees as "Google Camp." "Google Camp" discussions have ranged in past years from education to extending human longevity, but this year talks are expected to mostly focus on climate change. Fitbit shares tanked in after-hours trading after the firm posted weaker guidance for its third quarter, on weaker-than-expected sales of its Fitbit Versa Lite smartwatch. The firm posted a loss of 14 cents per share on $314 million in revenue.  Deliveroo, a major Uber Eats rival outside the US, has made its second acquisition to date with software consultancy Cultivate.
