Isn't Yahoo gone? Shouldn't headline be "Verizon-Oath"?

• niij 8y ago
  In the same sense that "Google" is gone and we should now be saying Alphabet. That is the holding company, but the brand remains.

    That's different - Yahoo has completely different owners now whose main business is in a different sector. Headline should read: "Verizon after acquiring Yahoo disregards normal tech-company conventions and snoops on everyone's emails like a scummy ISP."

      what's the point of finely tuning semantics when it's functionally identical?

        Getting people upset with Verizon is a good goal.

    Google LLC still exists.

    Do brands decide to violate user privacy? Or do people make that choice?
